ion by Dionysius Exiguus, or that by Gentianus
Hervetus; the former printed Mogunt. 1525; Paris, 1609, 1661, and 1687: the
latter, Paris, 1561 and 1618; and sufficiently supplied by Beverege and
Howell. Both translations are given by Crabbe, Surius, Binius, and others.
The corrupt reading _Angulos_, derived from Isidorus Mercator, appears in
the text, and without a marginal correction, in James Merlin's edition of
the _Councils_, Colon. 1530; in Carranza's _Summa_, Salmant. 1551, Lugd.
1601, Lovan. 1668 (in which last impression, the twelfth, the true heading
of the Canon, according to Dionysius and Crisconius, viz. "De his qui
_Angelos_ colunt," is restored); and in the _Sanctiones Ecclesiasticae_ of
Joverius, Paris, 1555.
For _Angelos_ in the text, with a courageous "forte legendum" _Angulos_ in
the margin, in Pope Adrian's _Epitome Canonum_, we are deeply indebted to
Canisius (_Thesaur. Monum._, ii. 271. ed. Basnage); and this is the method
adopted by Longus a Coriolano and Bail.

_Anna Lightfoot_ (Vol. vii., p. 595.).--I have heard my mother speak of
Anna Lightfoot: her family belonged to the religious community called
Friends or Quakers. My mother was born 1751, and died in the year 1836. The
aunt of Anna Eleanor Lightfoot was next-door-neighbour to my grandfather,
who lived in Sir Wm. Warren's Square, Wapping. The family were from
Yorkshire, and the father of Anna was a shoemaker, and kept a shop near
Execution Dock, in the same district. He had a brother who was a
linendraper, living in the neighbourhood of St. James's, at the west end of
the town; and Anna was frequently his visitor, and here it was that she
became acquainted with the great man of the day. She was missing, and
advertised for by her friends; and, after some time had elapsed, they
obtained some information as to her retreat, stating that she was well
provided for; and her condition became known to them. She had a son who was
a corn-merchant, but, from some circumstance, became deranged in his
intellects, and it is said committed suicide. But whether she had a
daughter, I never heard. A retreat was provided for Anna in one of those
large houses surrounded with a high wall and garden, in the district of
Cat-and-Mutton Fields, on the east side of Hackney Road, leading from Mile
End Road; where she lived, and it is said died, but in what year I cannot
say. All this I have heard my mother tell when I was a young lad;
