Charities, or Public Trusts
Charities, or Public Trusts. One of the earliest fruits of the Emperor Constantine's zeal, or pretended zeal, for Christianity, was a permission to his subjects to bequeath their property to the Church. This permission was soon abused to so great a degree as to induce the Emperor Valentinian to enact to Mortmain Act by which it was restrained.
