Excerpt from Blackfriars or the Monks of Old, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romantic Chronicle
IT has been well said, that a writer of the present day must be continually at fault in attempting to reproduce, upon a modern stage, ancient times, ancient men, and ancient customs. To pry into the profound depths of an almost fathomless Antiquity, or make any attempt to drain the fountain of antiquarian research, is a task far beyond the capacity of one poor human brain.
