Book excerpt: Excerpt from Institutes of Ecclesiastical History, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 2 of 4: Medieval Period Means of judging upon this, and upon other questions, besides those already mentioned, that are not yet grown into mere matters of liberal curiosity, are offered in the present volume. It exhibits, therefore, a portion of history which must be studied by all who would understand, not only what immediately follows, but also the present state of European society. The middle ages have left a vivid impress upon the present age, and none can understand its religion, literature, and institutions, who want either means or inclination to make inquiries into their remains.
