Foremost among the Religious Orders not comprised in any of the brotherhoods cited above are the =Jesuists=, properly styled “The Society of Jesus,” an organization founded upon a military basis by St. Ignatius Loyola in 1534, which extends its influence all over the globe. Next in point of importance come the =Servites=, otherwise “The Religious Servants of the Holy Virgin,” established by seven Florentine merchants in 1283; the =Passionists=, a community of priests solemnly agreed to preach “Jesus Christ and Him crucified,” founded by Paul Francis, better known as St. Paul of the Cross, in 1737; and the =Redemptorists=, or preachers of the Redemption, also styled the =Liguorians=, after St. Francis Liguori, who originated this Order in 1732. Each of these, except, of course, the lay members of the Jesuists, are professedly Monks; and yet these are not really Monks, but _Friars_, because they live in community, and at times mingle freely with the people. In short, they are =Missionary Friars=.
The word =Paper= comes from the Latin _papyrus_, and Greek _papyros_, the designation of an Egyptian plant from whose reeds the earliest kind of writing material was obtained. =Parchment= is an Anglicized form of the French _parchemin_, from the Greek _pergamenos_, named after the ancient city of Pergamos, in Asia Minor, where the skins of goats were first prepared for writing upon at a time when Ptolemy prohibited the exportation of the papyrus from Egypt.
=Hand-paper= was originally so called from its watermark, which was that of a hand; =Pot-Paper=, of a pot; =Post-paper=, of a post-horn; =Crown-paper=, of a crown; and =Foolscap=, of a fool’s head with the cap and bells. =India-paper= formerly came from the Far East, whereas =Nepaul-paper= is made in the district of Nepaul, Northern India. =Cap-paper= is so designated because, prior to being used by grocers for wrapping up sugar and other commodities sold by weight, it is folded into a cap-like form. Among papers of a stiffer kind, that are chiefly intended for drawing upon, we have =Elephant=, so called from its large size (28 inches by 23), =Cartridge-paper=, originally manufactured for soldiers’ cartridges, and =Bristol-board=, formerly made only at Bristol.
