It explains that amazing attachment to reliques, which forms an essential part of many modern religions, which fills the convents of Europe with OF IMOGEN. 177 more fragments of the cross than would cover mount Lebanon, and with more tears of the blessed virgin than would water the Holy Land. These objects confirm parti- cular facts to the zealous votaries, and rea- lize a train of thought suited to enthusiastic ardour. It is not merely the handkerchief stained with the blood of the canonized m...ar- tyr that moves, shakes, and convulses the pale and pensive nun, who flt her midnight orisons, bathes it with her tears : her emo- tions are occasioned by the belief of particular sufferings enforced on her imagination, by the view of that melancholy object. From the same association we may deduce the passion for pilgrimage, the rage of crusades, and all the consequences of that fatal dis- temper.
