To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this parish, the custom has been to ring as quickly after death as thesexton can be found; and the like prevails elsewhere. I have known persons, sensible of their approaching death, direct the bell at once to be tolled.
Durand, in his _Rituals of the Roman Church_, says: "For expiring personsbells must be tolled, that people may put up their prayers: this must bedone twice for a woman, and thrice for a man. " And such is still thegeneral custom: either before or after the _knell_ is rung, t...o toll threetimes _three_, or three times _two_, at intervals, to mark the sex. [6] "Defunctos plorare" is probably as old as any use of a bell; but there isevery reason to believe that-- "the ringing of bells at the departure of the soul (to quote from Brewster's _Ency. _) originated in the darkest ages, but with a different view from that in which they are now employed. It was to avert the influence of Demons. But if the superstition of our ancestors did not originate in this imaginary virtue, while they preserved the practice, it is certain they believed the mere noise had the same effect; and as, according to their ideas, evil spirits were always hovering around to make a prey of departing souls, the tolling of bells struck them with terror.
