Description:Excerpt from The Talbot Case: An Authoritative and Succinct Account From 1839, to the Lord Chancellor's Judgment, With Notes and Observations There are few subjects so little understood, indeed so little known, in this country, as the conventual system, especially with reference to what are called "religious houses" for the reception of ladies. They have been so long and so generally associated with the relics of by-gone times, and with the superstitions of mediaeval religion, that all accurate knowledge respecting them has been regarded as more curious than useful, and has been neglected as such. The result has been, that a Convent of Nuns is ordinarily associated in our minds with some tale of dis appointed affection in mediaeval romance, or with some fearful tragedy of dark and despotic times. The former awakens an interest in their favour, the latter evokes a prejudice against them. The remoteness of the subject for the last three centuries of the history of England, has naturally consigned such establishments, with their real character and nature, to oblivion among us. We know wonderfully little respecting them; and from the secrecy and mystery usually connected with them, this ignorance is little likely to be dissipated.
