The author of the History of Chivalry. who
SENS really to be in love with the subject con
,,rnug which he writes, speaks thus enthusiastic
ally:
.Chvalry stood forth the most glorious inst-
,aron that man himself ever devised. In lis
.auh and in its simplicity, it appeared grand and
Grlilul, both from its own intrinsic excellence,
and from its contrast with the things around
m il. after years it acquired pomp and luxury,
aud to pGinp and luxury naturally succeeded
iycay and death; but still the legacy that 1t lett
behind 1t 90 posteritv, was treasure OF noble
kcings and generous principles. There cannot
b. doubt that ChivaIry, more than any other
institution Except religion) aided to work out
The civilization of Europe. Ii first taught deyo-
ton and reverence to those weak, fair beings,
S.o bat in their beauty and their genteness have
DO defeuce It first raised love above the pas
sOns Of the brute, and by dignliying women,
made woman worthy of love. 1t gave purity to
enthusiasm, crushed barbarous sel6shuess, taught
The heart to expand like a flower to the sunshine,
beaat6ed glory with generosity, and smoothed
even the rugged brow of war;"
Though we may think the picture too highly
cOlOred, there is in it much of truth
