Not illustrated. 1893 Excerpt: ...character of the crusading movement is given by Hallam. "In 1211 a multitude, amounting, as some say, to 90,000, chiefly composed of children, and commanded by a child, set out for the purpose of recovering the Holy Land. They came for the most part from Germany, and reached Genoa without harm. But finding there an obstacle which their imperfect knowledge of geography had not anticipated, they soon dispersed in various directions. Thirty thousand arrived at Marseilles, where part were murdered, part probably starved, and the rest sold to the Saracens." In process of time the idea lost its power, and new crusades could not be organised, not because the people's beliefs and motives had perceptibly changed, but because the human mind had lost its receptivity to the implantation of fixed ideas of such a character, though they continued to act now and then upon separate individuals. Thus Petrarch, t who was born more than thirty years after St. Louis had vainly tried to revive the crusading spirit, wonders at the strange desire which now and then seized the white-headed old man to leave his sweet and tranquil home, and his loving family, and drag his wearied body, broken with years, to Rome to see the semblance of him whom he soon hopes to see in heaven. In countries where the people are ignorant and credulous, the intellect untrained, and the will apt to yield to a sudden impulse, such ideas still have power to move whole masses of men.
