Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Terra Incognita: Or the Convents of the United Kingdom Before my readers will have perused many pages of this book, they will find that it is not a work of mere vague assertion, lightly written, but a carefully marshalled array of facts, derived from official and other unexceptionable sources. These facts, I flatter myself, will be found to present, in the aggregate, a body of evidence, alike interesting and useful. My object is to convey information on a subject about which much ignorance and misconception prevail; and I rejoice that I address those, who, whatever their misconceptions may be, are eminently lovers of what is fair and just. In a former publication I had the good fortune to write in a tone of candour and impartiality, that has been generously acknowledged and appreciated by readers and reviewers of every variety of religious profession and every shade of political opinion. I have spared no pains to preserve the same tone throughout every page of this book; and in this, at least, I trust I have succeeded. Strictly speaking, the word ´Convent´ means a house for persons of either sex, living in community, and devoted to religion. The common acceptation of the word, however, is a house of religious women. Thus, we have lately heard a great deal about ´the Convent question,´ ´an inquiry into convents,´ and ´the inspection of convents.´ We also read of ´convent schools,´ in the reports of Her Majesty´s inspectors of schools.
