2 Ord. Vit, lib. v. cc. ]2, 15. 3 Hist, of European Morals, vol. ii. p. 90. IN HIS MONASTIC LIFE. 261 would have been left absolutely deprived of all human assistance." ^ Women, as well as men, took part in the service ; and the high-born and delicately nurtured, in the indomitable spirit of religious enthusiasm, bound up the offensive and dreadful sores, and applied to them their poor emollients. It is certainly also to the high and permanent honor of the monasteries that the first institution...s in Christendom for the remedial treatment of insanity, and for the pro- tection of those suffering from it, proceeded from them. Nearly five centuries ago, a. d. 1409, a monk founded an asylum for lunatics in Valencia ; others followed, in dif- ferent cities of Spain, and the oldest similar asylum in Eome was erected by Spaniards, under the impulse thus imparted.^ Pinel, whose name will have immortal re- nown for his careful investigation of insanity, and his success in the humane treatment of it, paid honorable tribute to this work of the monks.
