* The Pope proclaimed Stanislas a Saint and patron of Poland, and dethroned, exiled, and ex- communicated Boleslas, who, after long wandering, at length found an asylum in one of the Italian convents, where he was made a brother baker to the convent, — in which capacity he died. " The life of Boleslas forms one of the saddest and most striking pictures presented by the worst vicissitudes of human life. From the almoner of kings to the pensioner of mendicants ; from the leader of armies to the m...enial of monasteries ; from the royal voluptuary to the starving beggar ; from the palace to the kitchen; how stupen- dous was his fall, and the power which hurled him from the throne ! Abandoned by men, and denounced as one abhorred by God, he crept away into the forests, whose savage tenants were the only living creatures which were left to afford him an asylum, and make hi in an inmate of their caverns. Nor was his moral fall less ereat. Sec the intrigues of the bishop, Stanislas Szczepanowski, page 37.
