432 ANNUAL REGISTER, 1800. 



A more extensive account of the 

 foundation of many of these houses, 

 and of the persons who established 

 them, may be had in Dodd's Church 

 HistoryofEngland, printed at Brus- 

 sels in 1 737, 3 vol. in folio; in the 

 Flandria Illustrata of Sanderus, 3 

 vol. in folio ; the Brabantia Illus- 



trata, 3 vol. in folio ; and other 

 such histories of the countries where 

 any of these establishments were 

 made. What 1 have said above of 

 the origin, nature, and present fate 

 of each, suffices for the end I pro- 

 posed to myself in this short account 

 of them.
