To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Once again in English history did the shade of Monasticism appear, only to be again driven back to nether gloom. The Jesuits who flitted across the stage of history under James II. soon vanished, to be succeeded by the courtier bishop and fox-hunting parson of the Georgian period. This was one more thrust at the spectre. But now in our own days we see the thin shade rising once more into life, growing gradually more vigorous and healthy as our National Church revives. The system is rising again... before our eyes. Is there not then a good opportunity of unearthing its relics, in hope to find its perished glories P The history of Monasticism is so closely and in- timately bound up with the moral, social, and political character of the Middle Ages that to sketch the system even in outline would involve a deep knowledge of the philosophy, thought, character, and history of that long and eventful period. It will then be sufficient just to seize at hazard upon a few salient points, which meet the gaze of any inquirer into this institution.
