Publisher's Synopsis

""Life In A Convent"" is a book written by Samuel Phillips Day in 1848. The book provides a detailed account of the author's experiences living in a convent for several months. Day was a Protestant who was fascinated by Catholicism and decided to live in a convent to gain a better understanding of the religion and the lives of nuns. The book describes the daily routines, prayers, and rituals of the nuns, as well as their relationships with each other and with the outside world. Day also discusses the history of the convent and the Catholic Church, and provides insights into the beliefs and practices of Catholicism.Throughout the book, Day expresses his admiration for the nuns and their devotion to God, but also raises concerns about the strict rules and isolation that they must endure. He also questions the validity of some Catholic doctrines and practices, and offers his own interpretations of religious texts.""Life In A Convent"" is a fascinating and informative account of life inside a convent in the mid-19th century, and provides valuable insights into the practices and beliefs of Catholicism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
