, Westminster. We can only account for
the name not appearing in the register of that church, from her having
_changed her name_ when she opened her school in Worcestershire, as
stated, on the authority of Mr. Geo. Ballard, in Nichols's _Literary
Anecdotes_, vol. iv. p. 714. Ballard's Correspondence is in the
Bodleian.]

_Monumental Brasses in London._--Can any of your correspondents favour me
with a list of churches in London, or within a mile of the same, containing
monumental brasses? I know of St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, only.

J. W. BROWN.

[As our young crypto-antiquary dates his letter from Crosby Hall, he
will probably find in its library the following works to assist him in
his researches:--_List of Monumental Brasses in England_ (Rivington),
_Manual for the Study of Monumental Brasses_ (Parker), and Sperling's
_Church Walks in Middlesex_ (Masters). Two are noticed in Waller's
_Monumental Brasses_, fol., 1842, viz. Dr. Christopher Urswick, in
Hackney Church, A.D. 1521, and Andrew Evyngar and wife, in All-Hallows
Barking Church. If we mistake not, there is one in St. Faith's, near
St. Paul's.]

founded upon a remarkable set of visions said to have occurred to the
monks of Orleans.

"The illustrious house of St. Memin had been very liberal to the
convent, and had their family vault under the church. The wife of a
Lord of St. Memin, Provost of Orleans, died, and was buried. The
husband, thinking that his ancestors had given more than enough to the
convent, sent the monks a present, which they thought too small. They
formed a plan to have her body disinterred, and to force the widower to
pay a second fee for depositing it again in holy ground.

"The soul of the lady first appeared to two of the brethren, and said
to them, 'I am damned, like Judas, because my husband has not given
sufficient.' They hoped to extort money for the repose of her soul. But
the husband said, 'If she is really damned, all the money in the world
won't save her,' and gave them nothing. Perceiving their mistake, they
declared she
