This volume is apparently designed to feed the fantasies of split-level people who yearn to wake up one morning in a Palladian villa, a Roman palazzo or a great Georgian house in County Wicklow. The sumptuous interiors on display evoke the spacious days when every European princeling was building his own little Versailles and architects like Nash, Vanbrugh, Inigo Jones and Wyatt were adapting Italian magnificence for English country gentlemen.

The author, Father James Brodrick, 61, is a Jesuit himself. An Irishman who lives in England, he has spent most of his life writing readable but impeccably researched books on the history of the Jesuit order. In writing St. Francis Xavier, he has had the advantage of a mass of new material on Xavier's life, most of it compiled by fellow Jesuit scholars...
