jynsoEUoANEotrs.The
Blaok Plague in the F?ur- "
teenth Century. R
; There yes one disease, called the black el
^denth, th<* black plague, or the great mor7
tality. The most dreadful visitation of it w
was one that began in China, spread over ^
Asia, and, in the year 1348, entered Europe.
Europe was then, however, not uuused to
plagues. Six others has made themselves tamous
during the preceding eight and forty ^
years. The black plague spread from the
south of Europe to the north, occupying
about three years in its passage. In two
years it had reached Sweden: In three years
i it had conquered Russia. The fatal influ- ^
enco came among men ripe to rcccivc it.
Europo was full of petty wars. Citizens were
immured in cities, in unwholesome houses
overlooking filtliv sfcrnptn na in C
Ibrotresses, for rotbers, if not armies, occupied
the roads beyond their gates. Husbandmen
woro starving feudal slaves; religion
was mainly superstition; ignorance was
dense and morals were debased; and little 0
control'tfa3 set upon the passions.?Vessels j,
with dead crevrs drifted about in the Medi- /
terraueaq, and brought corruption and in- v
faction k> lheshores on which they stranded. ^
In what spirit did the people, superstitious f
aa they were in those old times, meet the caInmiKtf

against any such offering, it was desperately

sound men, , corroded by anxiety, wandered B
about livid as tho dead. Houses quitted t

plague and by the flight of terrified inhab* J
itiints, marty thousands villages were left
absolutely empty, and silent as the woods t
