INTERIOR OF THE JESUITS’ COLLEGE, ST. OMER. The town of St. Omer was at first only a Cliateau, named Sithieu, which Aldroaldus, a rich and powerful nobleman, gave, in the year 645, to St. Omer, a native of Constance, in Germany, bishop of Terouane. This prelate there built a church, which he dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and which has since become the Cathedral of the diocese. He also founded a Monastery, in which he fixed his residence, and was soon followed by several persons eminent for their piety, among whom was his fellow citizen, St. Bertin, by whose name this Monastery or Abbey was afterwards called. In consequence of these circum stances a great number of inhabitants came and settled in this part, where a large and handsome town gradually arose, which retains the name of St. Omer, in Latin Audomenopolis or Fanum S. Audomardi, from the name of the founder of the church. There was formerly a great number of Monasteries of the Dominicans, Capuchins, &c. and many Nunneries. The Jesuits had two Colleges, one for natives of the country, who taught the classics, and the other for the English fathers, whose magnificent College was founded by the munificence of Louis IV. They had also a Seminary, where they gave instructions in religion and the sciences to a great number of young students, who wore the habit of the Jesuits while they remained under their care. The celebrated Father Peters, confessor of James II. died here in 1692. The library of the College contained 20,000 volumes. The Vignettes represent a windmill erected on a dismantled church, and a curious tower, at St. Omer.
