St., or St Mungo, a famous saint of the Catholic church, who flourished in Scotland in the sixth century, and is said to have been of the royal blood of both Scotch and Picts, being the son of Thameitis, the daughter of Loth king of the Picts, by Eugene III. king of Scotland. The bishoprics of Glasgow and St Asaph were founded by him in 560. He obtained the appellation of Mungo from the affection of his tutor St Serf or Servanus, bishop of Orkney, who called him Mongah, which in the Norwegian language signifies dear friend.
KENTISH Towns, a hamlet of the parish of Pancras, in the hundred of Ossett, in the county of Middlesex. It has of late so much extended its buildings, that it almost forms a suburb to the metropolis. It is finely situated in a valley, beginning between the hills of Hampstead and Highgate; and being deemed a remarkably healthy spot, is much occupied with country residences of persons connected with London; and within the last ten years it has assumed an elegant appearance. There is a chapel of ease, and some dissenting places of worship.
