The Princess, In Memoriam, and Maud. Tennyson had produced only short poems in his 1842 volumes, but his next three efforts, The Princess , In Memoriam , and Maud , are of considerable length. The Princess: A Medley, as Tennyson rightly called it, contains 3223 lines of blank verse.
There are 184 prebends and 1229 parishes. The total number of ecclesiastics is 3223. There are 146 convents of monks and 59 convents of nuns, and 8 colleges for propagating the faith. The convents of monks are inhabited by 1139 persons, and there are 1541 nuns in convents, and with them 740 young girls and 870 servants. There are 238 persons in the colleges for propagating the faith."
Grando Sinoptico de la Republica Mejicana en 1850. Por Miguel M. Lerdo y Tejado; approved by the Mexican Society of Geography and Statistics. This number 3223 includes all of the 1139 monks, except the lay brothers. But in a note he gives the numbers in five of the principal departments out of twelve, which foot up at only 5405 for the clergy of both orders.
I translate from the same author, in a note, statistics upon the much-agitated question of the wealth of the Church of Mexico, from which it will be seen that the total amount consumed in the maintenance of these 3223 persons, is annually $20,000,000, besides the very large sums expended in the repairs and ornaments of an enormous number of churches, and in gifts at the shrines of the different images, which can not be appropriated to the maintenance of the clergy.
