The French Revolution, which prostrated

Sicily. Old habits, traditions and Interests
remain as they were before that great politi-

opposed the Bourbon as rival, and stniled
upon Garibaldi, in 1860, because it believed
he would simply tear down, and leave them
TO build on their old foundations. Precisely
because they had no faith in the success OF
the Liberal movement, the monks favored It
up to certain point. When Garibaldi went

covered their error, and have ever since tried
to mend it. The last ellort has probably
ruined their cause.
