for his efforts. At the period when the scholar

ain engaged in trade of various Sorts In fact
some of the monks the most enterprising Eng
lish merchants of that age. They united in trade
organization called the Brotherhood of St. Thomas
Beckett in 1862 and extended their enterprises to the
continent, where they established 'Staples" or
branch agencies, and to the remotest accessible
coasts Of the Northern Ocean. There they engaged
