admires; and tries to gain to-his own ranks: as
a selfConvicted.apostate. Mr. Lecky. is all for
epical distan&ions, for the elevation Of moral
pleasure, or. even noble moral pain, over the
lower delights; for what Repair. has' termed
moral aristocracy; and ibit a submission to the.
inner, Menter,.or, Superior Critic, which al
most allies 31r. Lecky with the Quakers, whom
he so frequently praises. In his extreme

- where he compares the.apparent success of the
early Roinan Church, and its seeming infusion
of vitality into the Empire, to (11. page 224) a
poison which , diffuses 'soothing 'sensations into
the frame it is killing; and he assuredly car
ries his dedtittions sometimes' t0 ..- a speculative
refinement which is entirely objectless and mis
chievous, as in his inquiry (I. page 11.))
whether immense moral advantages should be
sacrificed if theyrisk infinitesimal sins. For
thiS kind of hair-splitting he -has been re
' lentlessly punished in a recent BritiSh Re
view:

the saintly ideal, from the Ideal of Paganism to
the ideal of Christianity, was a change front a
type which was essentially male to one which'
was essentially feminine." Bow European
morals have become womanized, it is the prov 7
ince of his' book to shOW.
_First, says 31r. Lecky,...we must consider the

virtues; the - Oace of 'honor, given to heroic
virtues by the heathen is given to amiable vir

but' exercising scarcely any appreciable influ
ence upon the mass of the conimullity. ,Some
times welfind moralists Of a much less heroic
order, whose influence has permeated every
section of society."
" These three questions," says Mr. Lecky, in
his preface, "are those which I have especially
regarded ,in examining the moral history of
Europe between Augustin; and Charlemagne.
As a preliminary tO this inquiry, I have ills 7
cussed at some length the rival theories con
cerning the nature and obligation of morals,
and have also endeavored to show what vir

that in turn flourished, Showing in what re

of the general condition of Society, tracing

. . ,
'The legal position ofthe Roman wife was,
fora long period, extremely low. The Roman,
,
family was: constituted on, theininCiple of,the',
absolute authority of its head: who had a
power of life and death both over hi#Wifeainp'
over his children, and who ;could reptidiate:
the:fernier at. will. Neither the eustoinof

dowries, aPpears ter have'existed in the earliest
period of Itoinan history.; but the father.dis

trimonial purity most strict: • For fiVe hun

disgraceful for a.Roman mother to delegate to
a nurse the duty of suckling her child. Sump
tuary lima regulated,' - with the most minute
severity, all the. details Of_ domestic economy.
The Courtesan claKs, though probably nil- .
merobe, and certainly, - .uncontrolled, were re
garded , With, mach, contempt, The dis
grace of nubliely professing theinselves
members ' of it was believed to be
sufficient punishment; and an oldlaw, which
was probably intended to teach in symbol the
duties of married life, enjoined that uo such
person should touch the altar of Juno. It was
related of a certain redile, that he failed to
obtain redress for, an assault which had been
made upon bhu, because it had occurred - in
house of ill-fame, in which it was disgraceful
for, Roman magistrate to be found. •The
sanctity of female purity was believed to be
attested by all nature; The most savage -ani
mals beeante tame before. a virgin.. When 0.•
woman walked naked round a field, caterpil
lars,and all loathsome insects fell dead before
her. It was said that drowned men floated on
their backs, and drowned women on their
faces,; and 'this, in , the opinion of Roman
naturalists,,was ' due to the superier purity'of
the latter.
"It was a remark of Aristotle,thatthe supe
• riority. of the Greeks to the barbarians was
shown, among other things, in the fact that
•the Greeks did not, like other nations, regard
their wives as slaves, but treated them as help
mates and Companions. A Roinan writer has
appealed, on the whole with greater justice,to
the treatment of wives by his fellow-Country=
men, as a proof of the superiority ofßoman to
Greek civilization. He has observed -, that,
-while the Greeks kept their wipes in a Special
, quarter in the interior of their houses, and
never permitted them to sit at banquets, ex=
cept with their-relatives, or to see any male,
except in the presence of axelative, no Ro
man ever hesitated to lead his wife with him
to the feast, pr to place the mother of
the family at the head of • his ta
'ble. Whether, in. the period when
wives were completely subject to the rule of
their husbands, much doniestic oppression oe
carred, it is now impossible to say. A temple
dedicatedto a_ goddess named Viriplaca, whose
mission it wasto appease huSbands, eras wor
shipped by Roman women on the Palatine,
and a strange and improbable, , if -not incredi
ble story, is related by Livy, of the discovery,
during the republic, of a vast conspiracy of
'Roman wives to poison their husbands. On
the whole, however ' it is probable that the
email matron was, from the earliest period,
a name of honor that the beautiful sentence
of a jurisconsult of the empire, who defined
marl age as a life-long fellowship of all divine
.mod human rights, expressed most faithfully
the reclines of the people, and that female vir
tue Shone in -every ag.t conspicuously in Ro
' num biegraphies.'
Ni'. Lecky's recognition of a virtue is often
a little arlatialy., Patriotism,which can hardly
he said to be admitted among the virtues of
UhriAhmity—at least we may search the New

VERACITY A VIRTUE OF CIVILIZATION
- duty_____ ,— "The earliest n w
form ihiclMfe - of ve
racily is: enforced is probably the observance
of vows, which occupy a position of much
prominence in youthful relgion. With the'
subsequent progress of civilization, we find
the successive inculcation.. of, three fo i rms of
veracity, which may' he termed respectively
industrial, political and, philosophical. By the
first I understand that accuracy of statement
- rfidelitrltrEengagernents;WldchAwcommonly
meant when we speak, of a truthful man.
Though in some cases sustained by the strong
sense of honor which accompanies a military
spirit, this form of veracity is usually the spe-
coral virtue of an industrial nation, for, al
though industrial enterprise affords great
temptation, to deception; mutual confidence,
and therefore Strict truthfidness, are in these
occupations so transcendently important ',that
they acquire in the minds,of men a value they
hail. never pessess4 Veracity becomes
the first virtue 'in the nThral type, and no

bation in which it is wanting. .4 is made;
more than a 4 other, the test, distinguishing a:,
good from shad man. We accordingly 'find
_that, even where :theimpositions of , trade :late
. very numerous, the siiprefue ,excellence ' of
'veracity is cordially admitted in theery, and
it is one of the, first virtues that. everyman,
aspiring to moral excellence, entleavorA to
cultivate.
"This constitutes probably the chief ,moral
superiority of nations pervaded by a strong :
industrial spirit over nations like the Italians;
the Spaniards, or the Irish, among whom that
spirit is wanting.. The usual characteristic of .
the latter nations is, a certain laxity or, insta-
bility of character, a proneness to exaggera
lien, a want of truthfulness in little things, an
infidelity to engagereents from which au Eng
lishman, educated in the habits of ,

larger philosophy and , a deeper experi-,
ence his error. He finds that, where
the industrial spirit has not penetrated,,truth
fulness rarely occupieS in the popular Mind
the same relative position in the catalogue of
virtues. It is not reckoned 'aniong the punda
.mentals of 'morality ; and it' is possible, and
even common, to find . in these nations—what
would be scarcely po'ssible in au. i mluStrial so,

can _hardly be attained b' any but a cultivated

that bloom in the human heart. The growth,

In nne of: the most industrious and most elo

to the development of Asceticisni t as one of
the more arbitrary ontgrowths of the Christian
religion. Die view of this plias.° of quietism is
far different from that which waild be obtained
from the Allusions made by Fimelon and Mine.

and Cicero and the lives of Socrates and Cato.
For. about two centuries, the hideous macera
tion of the body was regarded as the highest
proof of excellence":,' St.. Jerome declares,with
a thrill ofadmiration,how he had seen a monk
who for thirty years had lived . exclusively on
a, small pottion of barley breactand of muddy
water ; another, who lived in a hole,aud never
eat more than five figs •for his daily
repast ; a third, , who cut 'his hair only
,on Easter Sunday, who never washed his
clothes, who never changed his tunic till it
fell to pieces, who starved , hireself till his eyes
grew diin,' and his skin 'like a pumice stone,'
and whose merits, shown by these austerities,
Homer. himself would be unable to recount.
For six Months; it is said, St. Macaries of
Alexandria slept in a marsh, and exposed his
body naked to the 'stings of venomous flies.
He Was accustomedto carry about with him
eighty pounds of iron. His disciple, St. Euse ,
bins. carried: one hundred and fifty pounds of
iron, and-lived for three years in a dried-up
well. St. Sabinus• would only eat. corn that
had become rottenly remaining for a month
in - water. St, Besarion spent forty days: and
nights in the middle of thorn-bashes, and
--for-forty- years neverlay_down when he slept,_'
which last penance was, also, - during fif-,
'teen years, practised by St. Pachomiva Some
. saints, like St. Mercian, restricted themselves
to one meal . a day, so small that they.con,
'tinually siiffered the pangs of hunger. :Of
-one of them it is related that his daily food
was six ounces of bread and a few herbs; that
lie was never seen to recline on a mat or bed,
or even to place his limbs easily for sleep; but
that sometimes, tro'm excess of weariness,•his
eyes would close at his meals, and the-food
would drop into his mouth. Other. ""saints,
however;. ate : only every second day; while
ninny, if We could believe the monkish histo
rian, abstained for whole weeks from nourish
ment. St. Marcaius of Alexandria is said ,
during an entire week to. have never lain
flown, or eaten anything but a few. uncooked
herbs on Sunday. Of another famous saint,
named - John; it is asserted that for three whole

and part of Syria, there existed a sect known
by the name of .' Grazers; who never , liVid
under a roof,:who ate-neither flesh- nor bread,
but who spent their time foreveron the Moun
tain-side, and ate grass like cattle. The clean
liners of the body was regarded as a pollution•
of the soul; and the Saihts who were' Meat ad
mired had become one hideous mass of clotted
filth. St. Athanasius relates with enthusiasm
how St. Anthony, the patriarch of monachism, ,
had never,: in extreme old age, been guilty •
of, washing, his' feet. The less constant St.'

the astonished monks by saying that he had'
'learned to' kill not his body, but his . pas

Who lived for fifty years after his conversion,
rigidly refused from that date to wash either.
his face or his feet. He Was, it is said, a per
son of singular . beauty, and his biographer
:somewhat: strangely remarks that 'his face

is in'its leading features historically, true. It
is trite that self-torture;Was for some centuries
regarded as the chief measure of human excel

of, the celibate systemy fir vhich. we are,
to blame the .entbuskuina of.early conversion
among the igniarant, an'l a wresting' of certain
passages of St. Paul. As for celibacy itself,
Mr. Lecky's - examination of the - system "is
strict and merciless, and, we need not sa3r 7 con-
delnnatory. In this connecticm occurs his
tribute, as hearty as it, is well-merited, to the
exhaustive• studies Of our , townsman, Mr.
Henry C. Lea: ,
" This subject," says 31. r. Lecky, 'quo ro•
Gently b(.:en treated with very great, learning
and with admirable impartiality bran Aineri
can author, Mr.... Henry C. Lea,, in 'his 'History
on Sacerdotal. Celibacy' (Philadelphia," 1867),
which is certainty .one of the most valuable
works that America, has produced.' Since the
great history of Dean Milman, .I know no
work in English which has thrown more light
on the moral condition of the Middle Ages,
and none which is more fitted to dispel the
gross illusions concerning that period which
Positive writers, and writers of, a certain ec
clesiastical school, have conspired to sus
tain." -
The motives which prompted men to shut
themselve.l into solitary cloisters,` as well as the
more ultra developments of asceticism; are
ascribed by Mr. Lecky to a simply odious tbrin
of selfishness, and as such placed on a. lower
level than the patriotic enthiraiasms of Greece
and Rome. And we are not sorry to have
quoted so. long an extract, embodying as it
does so.diStinct a picture, since it . shoWs his
freedom/ from the trammels' of the: saintliest
tradition, ' and his single-hearted reference'to
hutnaniconscience as a. standard of absolute
morality. The result made upon the mind, as
a whole, by Mr. Leeky's work is that, in the
words of the Saturday .:Reriew, he has drawn
a most, impressive picture of the evolution. of
Christian morality, especially in its
,early
stages, out of the civilization of the pagan em
pire, of the various changes of moral . type and
standard, of the successive degrees of: promi
nence or decay shown in .different, classes of.
virtue, of the proportion between different vir
tues in the ideal character of the .time,'a,nd of
their influence on one another, to he remarked
hi the course of this great moral recasting of
