It was active in the field with Peter Revel, in the castle of Lord
Cobham, in the pulpit with John Huss, in the camp with John Ziska, in
the class-room of Pico di Mirandola, in the observatory of Abraham
Zacuto, and the college of Antonio di Lebrija, and it burst into full
light through Martin Luther.

=Re'gan=, second daughter of King Lear, and wife of the duke of Cornwall.
Having received the half of her father's king-[TN-119] she refused to
entertain him with his suite. On the death of her husband, she designed
to marry Edmund, natural son of the earl of Gloster, and was poisoned by
her elder sister, Goneril, out of jealousy. Regan, like Goneril, is
proverbial for "filial ingratitude."--Shakespeare, _King Lear_ (1605).

=Regent Diamond= (_The_). So called from the regent duke of Orleans. This
diamond, the property of France, at first set in the crown, and then in
the sword of state, was purchased in India by a governor of Madras, of
whom the regent bought it for [pounds]80,000.

=Regillus= (_The Battle of Lake_). Regillus Lacus is about twenty miles
east of Rome, between Gabii (north) and Lav[=i]cum (south). The Romans
had expelled Tarquin the Proud from the throne, because of the most
scandalous conduct of his son Sextus, who had violated Lucretia, the
wife of Collatinus. Thirty combined cities of Latium, with Sabines and
Volscians, took the part of Tarquin, and marched towards Rome. The
Romans met the allied army at the Lake Regillus, and here, on July 15,
B.C. 499, they won the great battle which confirmed their republican
constitution, and in which Tarquin, with his sons Sextus and Titus, was
slain. While victory was still doubtful, Castor and Pollux, on their
white horses, appeared to the Roman dictator, and fought for the Romans.
The victory was complete, and ever after the Romans observed the
anniversary of this battle with a grand procession and sacrifice. The
procession started from the temple of Mars outside the city walls,
entered by the Porta Cap[=e]na, traversed the chief streets of Rome,
marched past the temple of Vesta in the Forum, and then to the opposite
side of the "great square," where they had built a temple to Castor and
Pollux in gratitude for the aid rendered by them in this battle. Here
offerings were made, and sacrifice was offered to the Great
Twin-Brothers, the sons of Leda. Macaulay has a lay, called _The Battle
of the Lake Regillus_, on the subject.
