John Andersey, the last Incuuibcnt of the Chantry of

 of the Chantry of Blessed ]\lary in the Church of ISTorthe-

ßy a Singular piece of good fortune, of which the history 

 of no other Eeligious House that I know of can furnish an 

 instance, we have thus had preserved for us the names of 

 the first as well as the last Prioress and Sisters of Buckland 

 — the former when brought together at the beginning from 

 vai-ious Houses into one Conventual home ; the latter both 

 as they were at the evil day of their dispersion, and also 

 whon death had been busy among them after an interval 

 of sixteen years. What became of these last during that 

 interval, whither they betook themselves, and how they 

 succeeded in bearing up under the anguish that memories 

 of the happy past would scarcely fail to create, we know 

 not. Nor can we gain more insight into their after 

 fortunes. The notice just presentcd to the reader is the 



has undergone. The scribe who copied the list fov Willis wrote it 

 "Hylbere," and thus it appears in the "History of Abbejs " (Vol. ii, p, 196.) 

 CoUinson has of course reiterated the assertion. The nanie in the original 

 record is '' Uille ;" and the syllable added by the copyists is the fiist vvord of 

 the "per annum iiiili" that follows ! Many readers inay consider this a 

 matter of the niost trifling consequeuce. It is an instance, however, which 

 admits of too constant parallel ; and the negligence which has given con- 

 tinuance to such errovs is unworthy of tho students of a branch of leariiing 

 in which false Statements are specially mischievous,and accuracy and e.xact- 

 ness are of indispensible necessity.
