12. Statue of Charles II.
—What became of the fine statue of Charles II. on horseback which formerly stood in Stock's Market, the site of the present Mansion House?
It was placed on a conduit at the "sole cost and charges of that worthy citizen and alderman Sir Robert Viner, Bart." I have seen a print of it, folio. (London, pub. 1708.)

13. La Mère Jeanne.
—In Hallam's Literature of Europe, 2nd edition, vol. i. p. 461., I read this passage:—
"Two crude Attempts at introducing the Eastern tongues were made soon afterwards (1530). One of these was by William Postel, a man of some parts, and more reading; but chiefly known, while he was remembered at all, for mad reveries of fanaticism, and an idolatrous veneration for a saint of his own manufacture, La Mère Jeanne, the Joanna Southcote of the sixteenth century."
Has any account of the character and proceedings of "La Mère Jeanne" been handed down to us; and, if so, where is it to be found?
