pointed out.

See too the _Gentlemans Magazine_, July, 1839, p. 49.

Dr. Maitland, in his _Facts and Documents relating to the ancient
Albigenses and Waldenses_, p. 217. note, corrects an error respecting
the _Book of Sentences_.

"Gibbon, speaking of this _Book of Sentences_, in a note on his
54th chapter, says, 'Of a list of criminals which fills nineteen
folio pages, only _fifteen_ men and _four_ women were delivered
to the secular arm.' Vol. v. p. 535. I believe he should have
said _thirty-two_ men and _eight_ women; and imagine that he was
misled by the fact that the index-maker most commonly (but by no
means always) states the nature of the sentence passed on each
person. From the book, however, it appears that forty persons
were so delivered, viz., twenty-nine Albigenses, seven
Waldenses, and four Beguins."

The following mistake was pointed out by the learned Cork correspondent
of the _Gentleman's Magazine_, I think in 1838; it has misled the writer
of the article "Anicius", in Smith's _Dictionary of Ancient Biography_,
and is not corrected by Mr. Milman (Gibbon, chap. xxxi. note 14 and
text):--

"During the first five ages, the name of the Anicians was
unknown. The earliest date in the annals of Pighius is that of
M. Anicius Gallus, Tr. Plebis A.U.C. 506. Another Tribune, Q.
Anicius, A.U.C. 508, is distinguished by the epithet
Prænestinus."
