This book, first published in the 19th century, chronicles the history of the English College in Rome from its inception in 1579 to its re-establishment a century later. The College was founded by Pope Gregory XIII as a seminary to educate English clergy during a period of religious persecution in England. Despite facing challenges and periods of closure, the College has endured and made significant contributions to the preservation and propagation of the Catholic faith in England. The author delves into the motivations behind the College's establishment, the rules and privileges granted to it, and its initial administration by secular clergy. The book discusses the reasons for the College's suppression during the French invasion of Rome in 1798 and the efforts made by English bishops and clergy to have it restored to its original purpose. The author provides detailed accounts of the College's reopening in 1818 and its subsequent progress under the leadership of Dr. Robert Gradwell. He highlights the improvements made to the College's finances, curriculum, and student body, as well as the remarkable achievements of its alumni, many of whom became prominent missionaries in England. This book offers a valuable historical perspective on the challenges and triumphs faced by the English Catholic Church during a tumultuous period. It sheds light on the College's role in training and supporting priests who played a crucial role in maintaining the Catholic faith in England despite severe persecution.
