_Captain John Stevens._--I should be glad to learn some account of _Capt.
John Stevens_, the continuator of Dugdale's _Monasticon_ in 1722. He is
generally considered to have edited the English abridgment of the
_Monasticon_, in one vol. 1718, though a passage in Thoresby's _Diary_
mentions that it contained "some reflections upon the Reformation, which
the _Spanish Priest_, who is said to be translator and abridger of the
three Latin volumes, would not omit."
