Recommended Reading, Further Information and Final Reflection Introduction Our life shows that the good from heaven is already to be found on earth; it is a precursor of the resurrection and like an anticipation of a renewed world. (Carthusian Statutes 34.3) If a survey were to be conducted today in which people were asked about their knowledge of monastic life, they would probably say that the abbeys and monasteries in which nuns and monks live are to be found hidden away in the countryside in quiet places far away from modern cities. Although this is quite true in most cases, there are many religious who strive to live the monastic life in the heart of a city or other urban surroundings. Good examples would include the Tyburn Nuns in Marble Arch, London, the Carmelite Monastery, Allerton in the city of Liverpool or the gargantuan Monastery of The Holy Cross in Chicago. We might be inclined to think that “urban monasticism” is a purely modern invention, but would be wrong in doing so because many monasteries in medieval England were situated in or near cities and towns, both by accident and design. -

FISHER and More! in you the Church and State Of England—England of the years gone by— Her spiritual law, her civil equity, Twins of one justice, for the last time sate On equal thrones. ’Twas England’s day of fate: Ye kenned the omens and stood up to die: State-rule in Faith, ye knew, means heresy: That truth ye wrote in blood, and closed debate By act, not words. A blood as red, as pure, They shed, that brave Carthusian brotherhood, St. Bruno’s silent sons. -

Die 12" Novembiis, 18 {^The rights oj translation and a/ reproduction are resejved,^ PREFACE. In the present work it is intended to give a con- nected and fairly detailed history of the London Charterhouse. The situation of the Charterhouse in the midst of the busy centre of the commercial world, the existence even to-day of a considerable portion of the ancient buildings, the peculiar life its inmates used to lead, and the troubles that befell them in the sixteenth century, all tend to render the subject interesting. Other spots in the City are comparatively quiet, Austin Friars for instance, but none so quiet as the precincts of the Charterhouse. There are other monastic remains in the City, but none so considerable as those of the Charterhouse. Of Carthusian life, indeed, nothing can be found in the London of to-day ; but the Order to which the monks of the Charterhouse belonged is still in existence, and has lately returned to England with the same rule, the same habit, and the same spirit VI PREFACE.
