The mystery which enveloped the proceellinrs of the Inquisition, the profound secrecy observed by its niem bens, and the 'inhere of its statutes and regulations, had rendered it hitherto impossible to compose an authentic history of that frightful trilsiittal. The best Rork that had appeared as vet on this subject, was that of Professor Limborch. who fur malty years employed himself with di ligeot industry in collecting materials for the pletiuu of kis task. But it was only in the archives of the In quisition that the most important documents were to be foiled, and no permit could be better calculated to be its historian than the keeper of its reconis. This was the situation filled during three years, by the author of, lisle production. awl tra‘krawroas- itriroh, a 11Istury of the I n yuisfflou, ley an Inquisitor himself. Some Catholic a riters have atfertel to consider the accounts published of its secret cruelties, as were effu sions of heretical seal; hut the official stamp of this his ory must silence even a Dominican. D. I.lorente states in his preface, that he was Secretary to the Inquisition of Madrid, during the years 1;149, 1790, and i 7 tI ; that he was induced by the peculiar ailvantart•• of his station to form a collection of the most interesting papers, and notes, and to make extracts of records and registers, re lative to its history. By his perseverance in this re spect, and by the purchase he made, at a considerable expense, of many valuable manuscripts at the sale of the effects of several of the Inquisitors, lie form ed an important collection of materials. But his riches were afterwards augmented far beyond his .t east guise expeetat . . in the yesr lid* the Inquisition was abolished, and its archives were placed at his dis posal, and from that period until Ittlt, the author was employed in carefully selecting, what appeared most useful for the composition of a history of the defunct tribunal. It is to be regretted that being in possession of such Matter, P. Llorente had not adopted a different plan fur its arrangement. We may also complain of bring wea ried by details that have at best hut a very local interest ; and Whatever elegance and spirit the original may poi. seas, Monsieur PeHier has taken care to infuse none of it in his translation. lint those wha are fund of his torical research, will find a compensation foe these de facts in an ample store of original and valuable infor mation. After giving a general outline of the history of perseention, in which he has followed Limborch rather closely, the author proceeds to rc!ate the first establishment of the Inquisition in the county of Toulouse. It is rather a curious coincidence of circumstances, that this trihnnal should have ori inateil in that part of Fr;itre, where religions perse cution has been re-produced, at different intervals, from the epoch of the Crusade against the Albigenses, up to our own slays; that the firoit promoter of this institution should have been lJnoninic de tinxman, the founder of th e cooler from which the Inquisitors were afterwards generally eh's/len, and, that he Shunt., have hers a native of the only country where the Inquisition was all-power lot for centuries, and where it is at present in exirtenre. Shortly after it had received a regalar organisation from Pope tiregory IX. it was gradually introolitcrol into the four kingd which formed the Catholic part of Spain. But it was not till the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella that it acquired its terrific importance. For near a een tory the Jews hail experienced the st cruel proximo tions, and every invention that could be devised by co -1 piolity our bigotry was levelled against them. To escape' from the doom that awaited them, thousands declared theinselvoo converts to Christianity. Their sincerity was doubted, and to enable the old t . hristiefie to oaerr- Hos whether the new ones were not still Israelites in heart, the Holy Office published an Edict in Thirty seven Articles, pointing nut the circumstances in which it became a duty to inform against the new converts, as being guilty of Judaising. Some of these points are rather of a singular nature. We shall extract a few of them for the use of our German neighbours, who, in this age, seen. disposed to follow the traces of the In quisitors of the fifteenth century. (Art. 4.) Those were to he informed against who wore clean linen on the Sabbath, or who put on a better sort of garment.—(Art. 6.) And 'loose who, before they killed the animals necessary for their support, tried die knife by drawing the blade on the nail of a finger.— (Art. le.) Thare who eat of the flesh of animals slangh treed by a Jewish butcher.—(Art. 2V.) Those who, on the eve of takinj . a journey, invite their relations or friends to a eonvivial meeting.—(Art. 36.) Those who, as a testimony of their sorrow, have secluded themselves from all society during one year, after the death of some rrsoo dear to theses. Llorente is not apt to be jocular, but be assures us, that proatoah:y few pi mons w• re in- PRICE SEVEN PEN( E. rorineol against on ti c k Article. The great majoefty of this devoted tribe continued however to adhere to the religion of their fathers, and, conseqnentle, their ex pulsion from the kingdom was resolved al.on. The principal instigator of this measure was Thomas de Torquernada, First Grand Inquisitor General of Spain. Torptemada was eminently podia-el for such a station; . he was arrogant and inflexible; his cool and methodical cruelty was surpassed by none of his successors; his hums ledge of bossiness., his activity in the dispatch of it, and, above all, his fierce bigotry, secured to bins an uncontrolled influence over the minds of his sovereigns. In his visits to the different provincial Inquisitions, he affected a sort of regal stale; be used to travel escorted by fifty fianiliars, armed and mount e d, an d t wo h un d re d foot. His arrival was always the signal of desolation. Llorente has dedicated a long chapter to a minute calcu lation of the number of vietnim lie sacrificed during his Inquisitorial reign of eighteen years. The result is,that te n liontmitl.l persons perished in the flames at Seville mote ; at Toledo, upwards of six thousand ; and a mewls greater seimber were condemned to perpetual imprison ment, netifiseation of property, &c. 'I here were then thirteen Inquisitors in Spain, and if all were eirally in du-trioo', neetwoli lig to our author's computation, Mel? 'loan four hundred thousand persona were punished ley the Holy ;!!flee during that short space of tome. h . lien the Jews were informed of their intended! ban:s!i 'tient, they had recourse to their usual mode of averting denizen Ferdinand and Isabella were then waging war against the kingdoms of Grenada, and the unfortunate Iraelites very properly thought, that the offer of thirty thousand ducats might obtain for them leave to remain in the kingdom wider certion restrictions. This proposition was on the point of bring acceded to—but Tonowanda. on hearing this intelligence, took a crucifix in his anus. and repairing forthwith to the royal residence, addressed his sovereigns with a high tone of indignation :* " Jig this," said lie, "fleet sold his masserfiir thirty pieces— your Highnesses are noir going , to sell him a sceurid time fur thirty thorn:ad. there, added he, laying down his crucifix, " take him, hasten end sell him." Their Highnesses bowed down before the Inquisitor, and the sentence of banishment was pronounced. This mea sure, with the subsequent emigration of the Moreseots, . deprived Spain of Heady two millions of inlishitants. But these proceedings were far from meeting with ge neral approbation; Ferdinand having assembled the tortes of the kingdom of Arragon in 1510, the deputies made energetical remonstrances against the shitses of the Holy Office the King eluded giving a positive an swer. In a subsequent fleeting in 1512, they voted a series of resolutions, tending to restrain and modify the power of the Inquisition. 'these formed the basis of a convention between the King anti his subjects ;_but a few months after lie solicited and obtained from the Pope a dispensation of the oath he had taken before the Cortes to observe its rtipulations. Some time aftartessedak on the accosekso of Charles V. the CortN of Castile, and those of Catalonia, were not more successful in a similar effuse!, and the power of the Inquisition was then firmly secured. One of the most valuable parts of this work is the complete disclosure it makes of the Inquisitorial cods and mode of proceeding. Llorente has corrected in many instances the errors of his predecessors, and bas made considerable additions to the facie already known. But what will he more generally read with interest, are those points connected with ioooportant historical recol lections. (Inc author has given us elaborate disqui sitions tin the circumstances which attended and followed the last menu of Charles V.—on the death of Hon Carlos—on the trial of Antonio Perez, first Secretary i , t State of Philip ll. and on the expulsion of the Mores core. That Charles V., after his abdication. haul i onki lied some of the Lotheran tenets, hots been mentioned by several writers. It has been also affirmed, that Philip had consente I that pro: to-flings 'should be ins:kilted against the memory of his father by the las:Casio!' ; who, for that purpose, haul seized his will. LI-antrum gives ns a detail of those reports that were thou in cir culation ; Fra Paolo hints at them, anti l'huanos seems inclined to give then; some degree of belief. A fortnitoes concurrence of eireimistanees, says Llorente, probably caused this accusation. liartlielenti tarranza, Arch bishop of Toledo. who assisted Charles in his last mo ments, was arrest,, shortly alto r, and tried for heresy by the Inquisition. Constantine Ponce, and Augnstine C a nalise hi s two favootrite preachers, were both de livered over to the Beeline arm. His confessor, John de Regis, was confined within the walls of the Hay Office, and obliged to abjure certain proposi4olis lie had maintained.
