We had no " entente cordiale " then ! The library of the Royal Geographical Society, Kensington Gore, London, con- tains the following editions : ' Voyage au Levant,' The Hague, 1709 ; c Voyage dans : la Grece,' &c., Paris, 1712; and 'Voyage fait en 1714,' &c., Amsterdam, 1720. FREDK. A. EDWARDS. SIR HENRY COLET (12 S. viii. 398). MB. STOCKER called attention to the fact (literally, but only literally true) that Dr. Sharpe's account of Sir Henry Colet's civil offices does not quite correspond to that in my ' Aldermen of the City of London.' We are both absolutely correct in our facts and dates. The only difference is that Dr. Sharpe (' London and the Kingdom,' vol. i. 348, 349) has named only three of the wards which Colet represented in the Court of Aldermen, and these without dates, whereas I have given all four with dates. We agree as to the dates of his Shrievalty and Mayoralty. I know nothing of How- lett's ' Monumenta Franciscana/ which Mr. Stocker quotes as "confirming" the' erroneous date (1474) of Colet's Shrievalty, and with this specimen of its accuracy before me I shall not consult it. The Mayor during the Shrievalty of Stocker and Colet (1477/8) was Humphrey Hayford (not " Layford " as printed by Mr. Stocker), and ner bher that year nor the one given ^ Hewlett oWcouM by any freal- of computation be held to represent "Henry VI., 17." The election of Hayford is recorded in Letter Book, fo. 130, that of Stokker ( Stocker ") and Colet at fo. 129b of the sam e in Dr. Sharpe's printed Calendar at PP- 152, 151, under dates Oct. 13, Sept. 29, 1477, respectively. j) r . Sharpe certainly does not record was Dea n of St. Paul's. He writes quite accurately (few writers have the gift of accuracy so strongly developed as Dr. Sharpe) that he was " father of John Colet, -pj^ f o f p nil i Q > ATT^ R^AA^XT - Ue r an .* b, t< ^ aul S ' ALFRED J5EAVEN.

Dr. Sharpe's omission of Colet's tenure of. the Aldermanry of Bassishaw ( 14 78. 82 ) is probably due to the fact that it ig not recorded with h ^ other Aldermanries ^ the original ed ition of the D.N.B.,' though the corrigenda vo lume and in the later editi w ^ ich was issued after Dr . Sharpe > s YEAR 1000 A.D. (12 S. viii. 369). There is no truth in the assertion of M. de Pas that the existence of a belief that the would end in the year 1000 A.D. is a, elaborated by modern historians. is sufficient documentary evidence to prove that there was a widespread expecta- tion of the consummation of all things, but this expectation may have been local and spasmodic rather than universal. Thus, in a Council held in 909 it was affirmed that Christ was coming soon in terrible majesty, and that all shepherds with their flocks would have to appear before the eternal Shepherd himself. Again, in 960, a hermit in Thuringia predicted the approaching catastrophe, and in 990 a sermon was preached , in Paris on the same subject. Godellus tells us that " anno domini M. . . . timer et moeror corda plurimorum occupavit et suspicati sunt multi finem
