Some of these accounts contaii passages truly edi- fying. 122 ginally received the name of La Trappe, from the intricacy of the road which leads to it, and the great difficulty of discovering any access or egress. This abbey is situated not far from Evreux and St. Maurice. On descending a hill near the latter vil- lage, the traveller suddenly finds himself at the skirts of a dark forest, which extends further thm the eye can reach, over an immense tnct of country. Here it becomes necessary to t...ake a guide, for the way is so exceedingly ntricate, that even those best acquainted with it, are in perpetual danger of losing thei: road. The whole of the way is inexpressibly dreary. It i; only diversified by a few lone huts, or solitary dilapidated chapels. Here and thereare seen, beneath the spread- ing trees, a fev decaying crosses raised by pious hands. The squirrels, hares, and foxes, seemed, indisturbed, to possess the whole domain. After traversing these lone roads for some hours, the trees b;come thicker, and tangled 123 with underwood, and the traveller reaches a thick wood, clothing the sudden slope of a hill.
