In writing these memoirs, it was Ms. Caracciolo's intention to confirm, so far as her experience as a Benedictine nun goes, the reasonableness, and the justice of the measure before the Italian government, suppressing monasticism; and, at the same time, to undeceive those who really believe that these institutions are the asylums of all the religious virtues. She proposes to show that the individuals confined in these convents are not only useless to society, and even noxious, but that they represent an order of ideas long since effete and that they are in direct opposition to the opinions of the civilized world in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
