recollected that there is a beautiful ruin on the river Wear near

Abbey.

_Christian Captives_ (No. 27. p. 441.).--As a very small contribution
towards an answer to "R.W.B.'s" inquiry, I may inform you that Lady
Russell mentions in her _Letters_ (p. 338., ed. 1792) that Sir William
Coventry left by his will 3000l. to redeem slaves.
