Jesuits
There is a strong feeling against these learned fathers, but whenever we feel inclined to denounce them let us pause-let us remember that they introduced into Europe and propagated the turkey: and let us reflect- Fulienne what would Europe, what would civilisation now be without this excellent creature? What would become of our Christmas dinner? The English name of the turkey is wrong, and comes from an error as to the origin of the rkey bird. The French name of dinde-that is, coq d'Inde, is right in that the name of Indies was applied applied formerly to America.
We speak in England of the cinchona bark as Jesuits' bark. The turkey is in like manner the Jesuits' bird.
