Arminian Nunnery in Huntingdonshire

By JOHN J. DREDGE.

In Nichol's *Litterary Anecdotes*, vol. ii. p. 519., it is stated that "a capital account of the family of Ferrar was compiled by Mr. Gough for the sixth volume of the second edition of the *Biographica Britannica*." Of the only two copies known to exist of the printed portion of this sixth volume Mr. Chalmers possessed one, and he seems to have used it in the preparation of the life of Ferrar for his *Biographical Dictionary*.
