by commerce with the world; has a pri- 
mitive and patriarchal simplicity i in every 
word and look, and gesture. When I 
first saw him, he was employed in car- 
rying fruit for our entertainment into 
the parlour; and I was, you may sup- 
pose, somewhat surprised to find him 
occupied by so humble an office. His 
lordship and ‘three agreeable priests 
dined with aS on the day of our arrival: 
the next bemny-a fast-day, they sat 
at table, and carved for us, but did not 
partake: there was a liberality and con- 
descension in this, which pleased me 
much, We were attended, dunne din- 
ner, by four famidiaros. 
“ The chaplain, an intelligent young 
man, informed me, that the value of the 
see was thirty thousand crusados novos 
a year, or four thousand five hundred 
pounds sterling; but that the bishop was 
by no means rieb, for one-third of his 
income went to the poor, one to hospi- 
tality, and the remainder to the repair 
and maintenance’ of his churches: this 
is the ancient division of monastic 
wealth; and in those countries where 
celibacy 1s enjoined to the clergy, a more 
just and proper one could not have been 
devised.” 
Such a lesson as this would be well 
employed, if any one would quote it in 
the House of Lords. ee oe
