Appreciation
- Anderledy's term is characterized by its brevity, coming as it does after his immediate predecessors' long terms of office. He had to run the Society also from a situation of exile: his headquarter (Curia Generalizia) was at Fiesole (Firenze) and not Rome. This caused much inconveniences to his government.
- In his handling of the Jesuits he was known for great firmness of character. He showed also a modern interest in scientific studies in Jesuit schools.
- In spite of very difficult circumstances - at one point all Jesuit schools of France and Italy were confiscated and their staff sent into exile - the number of members of the Society continued to increase: from 11481 when he was elected, to 13275 in 1892.

Famous quotes containing the word appreciation:
“The wonderful scope and variety of female loveliness, if too long suffered to sway us without decision, shall finally confound all power of selection. The confirmed bachelor is, in America, at least, quite as often the victim of a too profound appreciation of the infinite charmingness of woman, as made solitary for life by the legitimate empire of a cold and tasteless temperament.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The chief misery of the decline of the faculties, and a main cause of the irritability that often goes with it, is evidently the isolation, the lack of customary appreciation and influence, which only the rarest tact and thoughtfulness on the part of others can alleviate.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“It is remarkable that, notwithstanding the universal favor with which the New Testament is outwardly received, and even the bigotry with which it is defended, there is no hospitality shown to, there is no appreciation of, the order of truth with which it deals. I know of no book that has so few readers. There is none so truly strange, and heretical, and unpopular. To Christians, no less than Greeks and Jews, it is foolishness and a stumbling-block.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
