Mangin. — This surname belongs to the Crommelin connection. The great Crommelin and Captain Paul Mangin were married to sisters, daughters of Samuel Crommelin and Anne Testart, grand-daughters of Pierre Crommelin and Marie Desormeaux, great-grand-daughters of M. Crommelin and Marie de Semery de Camas. The great Crommelin had the same great-grand-parents, but his grand-parents were Jean Crommelin and Rachel Jacquelet, and his parents were Louis Crommelin, “le fleur de la maison,” and Marie Mettayer. Jeanne, Madame Mangin, having died, was succeeded by a second wife, née Anne Henriette d’Aulnis de la Lande. Harriette, daughter of Paul Mangin, was married to Samuel Louis Crommelin, junior (see chapter xx.). Captain Mangin spent his latter years in Dublin. I conjecture that the elegant author, Rev. Edward Mangin, M.A., descended from him. Edward Mangin’s work, which attracted most notice, was published in 1808, entitled “An Essay on Light Reading, as it may be supposed to influence moral conduct and literary taste;” a work of the same class, which he published in 1814, was “A View of the Pleasures arising from the Love of Books.” He edited Richardson’s works, in nineteen volumes, and published some translations from the French, such as “The Life of Malesherbes” (1805-1814), and “The Life of Jean Bart” (1828) — the latter is dedicated to his brother, Captain Reuben Caillaud Mangin, Royal Navy.

Rev. Arthur Henry Kenney, D.D. (styled in 1842 Rector of St. Olave’s, Southwark, formerly Dean of Achonry, and Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin), is known as the biographer of Archbishop Magee. He ought, probably, to be included among the descendants of Huguenot refugees. One reason for this conjecture is, that a well-represented family surnamed Kenny, has already been so honoured, on the authority of Burke’s Dictionary of Landed Gentry. Another reason is that Dr Kenney is the author of a volume which contains a readable digest of Claude’s Pamphlet on the Persecution in France, and of the controversy between Bossuet and the Huguenots, in which Archbishop Wake so ably and gallantly wielded his pen. This volume was published in 1827, with the title “Facts and Documents illustrating the history of the period immediately preceding the accession of William III., referring particularly to Religion in England and France, and bearing on recent events.” With the view of showing his desire that the law for the political emancipation of the Romanists in the United Kingdom should have a fair trial, he soon withdrew this volume from circulation; but he re-issued it in 1839 with a new title, “The Dangerous Nature of Popish Power in these countries, especially

1. The Gentleman’s Magazine, vol. viii., has this announcement:— “Married, 13th April 1738, Mr. Fonnereau, fourth son of the late Mr. F., to Miss Martin, of Paternoster Row, £6000.” Her father is called in a pedigree, George Martyn of Odington.
