Excerpt from A Pilgrimage to Rome: Containing Some Account of the High Ceremonies, the Monastic Institutions, the Religious Services, the Sacred Relics, the Miraculous Pictures, and the General State of Religion in That City
The Author has greatly to regret that this volume has ex tended far beyond the limits he desired. And his fear of enlarging it too much has induced him to withhold, at least for the present, much that might be regarded as the most interesting portion of his subject.
