Synopsis
Excerpt from The Monks Before Christ: Their Spirit and Their History
At other times, I have discovered what seemed to me a higher standard of morality than that adopted by the monks; and a closer acquaintance with their mode of life, as it now exists in Europe, gave to the hopes which I once indulged a sad fall. Six months' observation In Southern France and Italy convinced me, that this institution was far from what I had thought to find it.
