Note 332 — Chapter V · Jesuit Colleges and their Work before the Suppression of the Society (1540–1773).

Quick, Educational Reformers, p. 40. That also in the nineteenth century the Jesuits were able to write good text-books may be seen from a statement of Thomas Arnold, son of Dr. Arnold of Rugby. During his sojourn in New Zealand, he used to borrow books from Frederick Weld, a Jesuit pupil of Fribourg (afterwards Governor of Western Australia.) “One of his text-books,” says Arnold, “which he had brought with him from Fribourg, was a history of philosophy by the Jesuit professor Freudenfelt [the name is Freudenfeld, died at Stonyhurst 1850]. This book seemed to me more genially and lucidly written than similar works that had been put in my hands at Oxford.” Passages in a Wandering Life, London, 1900, p. 99.
