The Charters Priory of Priory: With Notices of the Priories of Priories and Pluscardine and of the Family of the Founder John Founder (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Charters Priory of Priory: With Notices of the Priories of Priories and Pluscardine and of the Family of the Founder John Founder
Two gentle tastes were cultivated within its walls - the love of gardens and the love of books; none who have nourished these affections but will reverence its ruins. There, was kept up a monastic school which made the house the Lamp of learning to the North; and there, the simple life and frugal habits of its inmates enabled them to let their lands to kindly tenants on such easy terms that a perpetual feu at the rent they received was worth some forty years' purchase.
I have two duties to perform; one to apologise for the defective way in which I have done my work, the other to thank those who have assisted me. Unable to give continu ous attention to it, the notes are disjointed and uneven, and would be of little use but for the abundant kindness which has been shown in giving me materials for them.
