Sinossi
Excerpt from Beppo the Conscript, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel
It is a different region now? And a very different spectacle, and other ideas and associa tions, are impressed on the mind of the wanderer among those Adriatic cities! The Church stretched over them its leaden hand, and numbed them! Priestly power came, and literature ceased; edu cation was no more; commerce pined and died; wealth made itself wings and flew away; all energy departed from them; the national cha racter became deteriorated; the cities decayed; palaces fell to ruin; even churches were defaced and their beauty destroyed by the base greed and tasteless vandalism of a clergy, whose scope was to use religion as a begging impostor's swindle. Ever increasing poverty, and the spreading canker of mendicity, invaded fields and cities. Lazy squalor, brutifying superstition, and the degrading and unmanly vices fostered by the morality of the confessional, marked the fallen region as their own!
