Observations on the new American republic by an early president of Georgetown University Father Giovanni Antonio Grassi was the ninth president of Georgetown University and pioneered its transition into a modern institution, earning him the moniker Georgetowns Second Founder. Originally published in Italian in 1818 and translated here into English for the first time, his News on the Present Condition of the Republic of the United States of North America records his rich observations of life in the young republic and the Catholic experience within it.When Grassi assumed his post as president in 1812, he found the university, known then as Georgetown College, to be in a miserable state. He immediately set out to enlarge and improve the institution, increasing the number of non-Catholics in the school, adding to the librarys holdings, and winning authority from Congress to confer degrees. Upon his return to Italy, Grassi published his News, which introduced Italians to the promise and contradictions of the American experiment in self-governance and offered perspectives on the social reality for Catholics in America.This book is a fascinating work for historians of Catholicism and of the Jesuits in particular.

Tempo verr, che fien dErcole i segni

Favola vile a naviganti industri,

E i mar riposti, or senza nome, e i regni

Ignoti ancor tra voi seranno illustri.

The time shall come that sailors shall disdain

To talk or argue of Alcides streat,

And lands and seas that nameless yet remain,

Shall well be known, their boundaries, site and seat

FROM Torquato Tassos (15441595) Gerusalemme Liberata(Jerusalem Delivered), Canto XV, first four verses of stanza 30, rendered in English in 1600 by Edward Fairfax (15601635). Alcides Streat refers to the Pillars of Hercules, the two promontories flanking the Strait of Gibraltar.
