[Footnote 29: Clairvaux, surnamed the valley of Absynth, is
situate among the woods near Bar sur Aube in Champagne. St.
Bernard would blush at the pomp of the church and monastery;
he would ask for the library, and I know not whether he
would be much edified by a tun of 800 muids, (914 1-7
hogsheads,) which almost rivals that of Heidelberg,
(Melanges tires d'une Grande Bibliotheque, tom. xlvi. p. 15
- 20.)]
