20, 1865), an account of an interesting trial respecting the manufacture of the liqueur peculiar to the Abbey of Grace-Dieu.

From this account it appears that the liqueur was formerly called the Liqueur of the Grace-Dieu, but is now known as Trappistine.

It is limpid and oily; possesses a fine aroma, a peculiar softness, a mild but brisk flavour, and so on.

It was invented by an ecclesiastic who was once the Brother Marie-Joseph, and prior of the convent, but is now M.Stremler, having been released by the Pope from his vows of obedience and poverty, in order that he might teach Christianity to the infidels of the New World.
The Brothers took the question of the renunciation of poverty into their own hands, by declining to give up the money which Brother Marie-Joseph had originally brought into the society; so M.Stremler, being now moneyless, commenced the secular manufacture of the seductive Trappistine, in opposition to the regular manufacture within the walls of the Abbey, abstaining, however, from the use of the religious label which is the Brothers' trade-mark.

The unfortunate inventor was fined and condemned in costs for his piracy.] [Footnote 36: See p.
