Alcala, Maria Fernandez, 1671. {10 Ios. In this account of the persecution of the Catholic Missionaries in China between the years 1664 and 1668, the author, himself a Jesuit, refers to the care with which many of the missionaries had approached the Tartar religious con- science through the medium of the intellect. Knowing that they were addicted to the study of astrology, the Padres assiduously cultivated this subject, studied and mastered the Chinese language, and printed more than 150 books on mathe- matics and a similar number on_ philosophy, all in Chinese characters, and astonished their persecutors by their learning. Padre Garcia gives an account of the infamous punishments inflicted on some of the Padres, and a list of the missionaries who appeared before the Judges in Pekin. 1671 A.D.
