saw it in Coghlan's shop in 1785. Mr. Cordell, of Newcastle, wrote some
observations upon it. Mr. Conolly, S.J., told me at Oxford, October 17,
1814, that he 'once saw in a corner of Mr. C. Plowden's room, a heap of
papers, some torn, and put there apparently to be burnt. I took up one
of them,' he said, 'which was torn in two.' It contained anecdotes and
observations _against Ganganelli_."

It was doubtless from this collection that Mr. Keon was supplied with those
papers, which he published in _Dolman's Magazine_ in 1846, concerning "The
Preservation of the Society of Jesus in the Empire of Russia."

_Pope Ganganelli_ (Vol. ii., p. 464.).--The Rev. Charles Cordell, a priest
of the Roman Catholic Church, who was stationed at Newcastle-upon-Tyne
about the date mentioned by your correspondent CEPHAS (he was there in
1787), was the translator of the letters of Pope Clement XIV. (Ganganelli);
but as I have not the book, I do not know whether it contained also a life
of that pontiff. Mr. Cordell was editor of other works.

_Nicholas Ferrar's Digest_ (Vol. ii., p.446.).--One of the copies of the
Gidding _Digest of the History of our Saviour's Life_, inquired after by
J.H.M. (a most beautiful book), is in the library of the Marquis of
Salisbury. I believe it to be the copy presented to Charles I.
