Google 



This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you.

public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. 
We also ask that you:

personal, non-commercial purposes. 

+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just 
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

The Editor of the Btbliograj^al DtcHciuny 
again returns heartiest thanks to the public for their con« 
tinued encouragement of the work. He hope^ he can 
saj^ that his promise of keeping it in aprogresnve state qf 
improvement has been £uthfully observed ; and that the 
present volume bears evident marks of superadded care 
and attention. His aim and ambition have been to make 
it, as far as time and circumstances would admit, in some 
measure worthy of the public patronage with which it 
has been fevoured. It is to him an additional proof of 
the good taste of the nation, and of the high esteem it 
entertains for polite and useful literature, that a Dictionary 
ot "Authors and their Works, such as the present, should 
be so eagerly purchased by all classes. May a spirit, so 
honourable to Britons^ be ever cultivated, and crowned 
with suitable success ! 

The subject of this work must appear to many at first 
view as didl and uninteresting: but it has been the Editor's 
constant aim, by inserting numerous criticisms firom the 
learned,^ with the best authenticated literary and bio- 
graphical anecdotes, to render a work, necessarily dull in 
itself, both entertaining and instructive; and he flatters 
himself his endeavours have not been unsuccessful. 

It may be farther necessary to state, that it has been 
the design of the Editor, from the beginning, to include 
in his work an account, 1st, of all the ancient Classics, 
both Greek and Latin, in all their principal Editions, from 

the

The celebrated Gratian was the true author of this 
brmch of sacred literature : and although, in the 6th 
century, Dionysius Exiguus, Crescentius, and others, 
had made similar Collections, yet Gratian, who was 
a monk of Bologne about A. D. 1 1 40, was the first who 
formed a regular series of sacred Canons, and re-

duced sacred jurisprudence to the form of a regular 
science. The labours of the learned since, to amend 
the work of Gratian, are a sufficient proof of the high 
estimation in which the original has been held. Gra^ 
tian ^vas undoubtedly one of the most learned men 
of his age. I'hc Glosses entitled Palae are the 
work of a lawyer, who flourished a little after Gnu 
tian's time.

General Observations on the first printed Classics, 
a7idotherSy taken principally from Palmer's His- 
tory of Printing. 

"W^ith respect to the forms of the works, they 
were generally either large or small folios^ or at least 
quartos; tlic smaller sizes were not in iise. The 
leaves were without running title, direction word, 
number of pages, or divisions into paragraphs. Tlie 
character itself was a rude old Gothic, mixed With 
sccrctaiy^ designed on purpose to imitate the haiid- 
writing of the time. The words were so closely and 
connectedly printed, tliat they were difficult to be 
read, even by those who were accustomed to^MSs. 
and often led the inattentive reader into mistakes. 
There was then no standard for orthography; it 
was various, and often arbitrary, method being 
wholly disregarded. — ^Their periods were distinguish* 
ed by no other points than the double and single one^ 
i. e. the Colon and Full Stop ; just after the same man- 
ner in which the reading Psabns in our Common 
Prayer Books are all pointed ; all other punctuations 
being of much later invention. — Abbreviations were 
so frequent with the first printers, and in time be- 
came so numerous, and difficult to be understood, 
tliat a treatise was written on the art of reading a 
printed book ! — ^They used no great letters to begin 
a sentence, or proper name of men or places.— 
They left blanks for the places of titles^ initial lit* 



c 6 «r 

ierSf and other ornaments, in order to have them 
supplied by the illuminators, whose ingenious art, 
tliough in vogue before and at that time, yet did not 
long survive the masterly improvements made by 
the printers in this branch of their art. These orna- 
ments were exquisitely fine, and curiously variegated 
with the most beautiful colours, and even with gold 
and silver; the margins likewise were frequently 
charged with variety of figures of saints, birds, 
beasts, monsters, flowers, &c. which had some* 
times relation to the contents of the page, though 
mostly none at all. These embellishments were 
very costly ; but for those that could not afford a 
round price, there were others done after a more 
ordinary manner, and at much cheaper rates, — ^The 
name of the printer^ place^ &c. were either wholly 
neglected, or put at the end of the book, not with- 
out some pious ejaculation or doxology. — The date 
was likewise omitted, or involved in some crampt 
circumstantial period, or else printed either at full 
length, or by numerical letters, and sometimes 
partly one and partly the other, thus : One thousand 
CCCC and Sixtjf^ S(c\ but all of those at the end of 
the book. — There was no variety of characters, no 
intermixture of Roman and Italic^ which were of 
later invention ; but their pages were continued in a 
Gothic letter, of the same size throughout. 

ThGir Subricks^ which were very firequent, and 
added no small beauty to the pages, were sometimes 
done by the same hands as the initial letters. — 
Whenever they met with any Greek, they eithei 



24 C O 

left a blank fur it, to be afterwards filled up by writ* 
iag, if the passage was long ; or, if short, consisting 
only of three or four words, they got it cut on wood, 
tliough after such a rude and ill-shaped manner, that 
it required soine pause to be read. — ^The quotatUmM 
of the places out of which they were taken, were 
very often neglected, both in manuscripts and print- 
ed books ; wliich caused the curious no small trou* 
ble to find them out. 

They had seldom dedicatory or prefatory Epi$» 
ties ; and when they began afterwards to retail theai 
in their impressions, they generally placed them at 
the end of the work ; a piece of justice as much neg* 
leclcd, as wanting in our age. — ^Tliey collected no 
7 able of Contents^ no IndcXj nor Summary^ (wh:cK 
are indubitably a great help to the reader) nor aiiy 
Evratas at tlie end ; for what faults were in their 
editions, were rather owing to the manuscripts wlxich 
they printed after, than to the carelessness of the 
printer. — They printed but few copies at once^ for 
two or three hundred were then esteemed a large 
impression ; though, upon tlie encouragements re- 
ceived from the learned, they increased their num« 
bers in proportion. 

They were not solicitous to obtain Privileges and 
Patents for the sole printing of any particular vo- 
lume; though, towards the latter end of FausVM 
time, several of his servants set up printing-houses 
and were ambitious to excel their master. How 
soon after, tliose privileges began, appears from that 
granted by the emperor to John Schoeffcr^ Faust*4 



CO «ft 

grandson, an. 1519, for the sole ^Idtthg of Xivy; 
aAd to prohiUt any other to rejirint those beoU 
which had come from his press : and as this had 
been granted upon account 6f his behig grandson ef 
the inventor of the art, so several popes and jmncea 
gftye like patents to their printers, as a marie of their 
fhTour« 

Of the works which are printed upon Vellnm§ 
being formerly valuable chiefly for that pecufiarity, 
and are therefore become very scarce, it may not be 
impix>per to make some observadons upon them. 

It is, first, natural to enquire, why this method of 
printing was so frequent among the first printers. It 
is probable, that the disproportion of the price of vel^ 
lum and paper was not then so great as at present, 
there being mahy proofs that, in the middle i^es, 
piper was a very scarce commodity. Vellum was 
then in great use, because, as it was a laborious 
Work ta transcribe a book, it was rational to use last* 
ing inateriab, as we now do in writings, which are 
not to be printed ; though it is no longer necoisaiy 
t(> observe the same caution, widi regard to bodks. 
But, however fi^quently vellum was used, it does 
not appear that any impression was wholly confined^ 
to k, aS some have thought, who have denied the 
gemitneness of some books mentioned in Cataloguer , 
because they were printed on paper, when others of 
the same Edition were printed on vellum. There 
were in the Harleian Library liiusfs Tuliys Offices^ 
both of 1465 and 1466, as well on paper as vellum; 
the CathoUcon of 1460 was of both kinds. I hove'

yet. indeed, seen do copy upon paper of die Bible in 
1462 ; but it is not improbable tliat, as the Bible was 
more used tliah otlier books, the paper copies might 
be worn out ; or that the others might be preserved 
on account of the vcilum. by tliose who valued them 
for no other reason. After Faustus^ no bouks seem 
to have been printed upon vellum» but for tlie sake 
of curiosity ; for, as paper became more necessary, 
the art of making it became more common, and it 
&oon grew cheaper than velium, of which the quuv 
tity might be said to be limited by nature, whcrcai 
paper may be increased without diiliculty. Palnur. 
Concerning Classics it may be necessary faitlier 
to say, tliat tliis name is not, or should not, be given 
to any ancient authors, but to tliosc alone who have 
wriucn the best in their respective languages, the 
cultivation of which tliey have curried to their high- 
est degree of perfection, so tliat their labours serve 
for models to all tliosc who apply themselves to the 
study of polite literature ; or as Aulus Gellius terms 
tlicm, Scriptorcs prinne nottc^ et prestantissimi. 

By Latin Classics, arc understood those auihori 
who have flourislicd in the time of the Roman Re* 
))ublic, and tliose who lived in tlie reign of Augus* 
tus, or shortly after : such as, Terence, C^isah,

CO 27 

second century ; also Pliny the Younger ^ Florus, 
SuEToKius, and Justin. It was in the second ceiir- 
tury, under the Antomniy that the beautiful Latinity 
of the republican and Augustin age, began to dcge* 
nerate. 

Among the Greek Classics, Homer, Hesiod, 
Pindar, Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, 
Demosthenes, Isocrates, Aristotle, &c. hold 
thejirst rank. To these may be added, the Fables 
of £sop, the Dialogues of Lucian, and most of the 
Fragments of Plutarch* 

Most nations have their Classic Authors, whose 
reputation, once established, serve for nwdels to the 
numerous herd of imitators wliich come after. lu 
dead languages, it is well to select the best authors, 
and establish them as standards of pure and elegant 
composition ; for in such languages no further ex- 
cellence can be expected. But in those langu^es 
which continue to be vernacular i the case b widely 
different ; thty xhay still be improved and polished, 
therefore no writer should be set up as a standard of 
insuFpassahle excellence. Why may not the Eng- 
lish, for instance, expect writers, which shall as far 
excel Addison^ Steele^ Johnson^ Spencer ^ Shakespear^ 
MStoHt and PopCf as they have surpassed their pre- 
dtcessors ? Certainly the English language and the 
British genius, notwithstanding their almost unci* 
valled excellence, are still capable of greater per* 
foction.

as a first essay, has considerable merit. Its greatest 
defect is, that instead of following the order of the 
Greek alphabet, the author has followed that of the 
Hebrew, placing tlie Greek word to which it corre- 
sponds in tlie Scptuagint after it. The author was 
a Lutheran divine of Augsburg.

manner to tlie Particles in the Hebrew language^ 
which were very imperfectly understood, even bj 
the best critics, before the appearance of this work 
of Noldius; and so complete is this Concordance^ 
that it has scarcely left any thing on the subject un« 
finished, and is of the greatest importance to every 
biblical student and critic.

was rector of the college of Landscroon, whicli

Anthony Comellius^ the author of this tract, was 
a lawyer, in Auvergne, about tbe beginning of the 
16th century. When his work made its first ap«. 
pearance, it was decried as a nionster of atheism, 
and was so completely suppressed, that scarcely a 
copy of it is to be found, even in the must curious 
and select libraries. Several think the work was 
designed to sap the foundation of religion ; but it is 
very likely the author only designed to ridicule and 
expose the absurd and horrible doctrine of infant 
damnation^ so repugnant to the nature of God and 
the gospel of his Son. The book contains about 70 
pages.

allowed to be written with all tliat elegance and pre*

most simple facts. ' His arrangement is regular and 
perspicuous, and his reflections new, striking, and 
always promotive of virtue. But, like other his- 
torians, he can only be trusted wliile relating those 
facts with which he had a personal acquaintance, or 
were near to the times in which he lived. His account 
of the Jews^ lib. xxxvi. c. 1 1 , &c. is sufficient to shew 
that every page should be read with extreme caution.

John Baptist Cotelerius (Cotelicr) was faoivnt 
Nismes, in 1 629. He was Batchelor of Ae Soiboa- 
ne, and Greek professor in the royal coUegie. At 
1 2 years of age he could translate tlw HebresrBBile 
with great fiicility, and was perfect master of En- 
clld's Elements. He was one of the most-l 
men of. his time, and a pattern of uprig^itness» 
tieness, and piety*. He died in Paris, Aug. 12, 1£36» 
leaving nine Volumes folio of mss; contaimng ex- 
tracts from the primitive fathers, and diffieient-eooie* 
' siastical authors, with notes. These volumes wane 
deposited in the late king's library. His PaSras

nan. Befbiehe v^ 20 years of age he hadrun thrbi^ > 
all the circle of the sciences, and could speak and . 
write ten different languagea in perfection : and be- 
sides these, he cultivated himself in the highest de« 
gree in riding, fencing, dancing, singing, and playing 
upon all sorts of musical instruments. He went to : 
Paris, and caused bills to be stuck up on the gates 
of all the halls, colleges, and schools of the univer-* 
sity, and before tlie doors of the most eminent iite« 
rati in the city, inviting all those who* were well 
versed in any science or art, to dispute with. him in- 
the college of Navarre that d^y six weeks.; where be 
would be ready to answer to whatever should be . 
proposed to him in any art or science ; and in any . 
of these twelve languages, Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, 
Greek, Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, English, . 
Dutch, Flemish, and Sclavonian; and this either ia 
prose OF verse^ at the pleasure of the dnputant The 
disputation lasted from 9 in the noiornii^till 6 at 
night, in which he acquitted hitoself to the astonish- 
ment of all, and had a diamond ring and purse of • 
g6M given him by the college, as a testimony of their • 
profound esteem for the rare qualities with which < 
Che Ahnighty had endowed hioi. At Rome, Venice, 
and Padua, he is said to have acted nearly in a suni« 
lar way, and with equal success. He was at last; 
basely murdered by Vincentio de Gonzaga, son of 
the duke of Mantua, to whom he was preceptor.. 
Such surprising accounts ate given of the mental and 
corporeal endowments of tbis-celebrated Sc6tchman^ * 
that some critics have seriously doubted the truth of 



12 CR 

tlie whole relation. Others, while they grant Uierc^' 
was such a person, and allow he had considerable 
endowments, yet treat the greater part of what is * 
related of him as fable. See Dr. Kippis, in the 
Biogr. Briian, Uf his existence indeed there can 
be no doubt, nor of his rare attainments; Aldus Ma* 
niitius, who was intimately acquainted with him, . 
has put this part beyond controversy. See the piece 
to his memory in vol. 2. p. 1S9 of tliis Dictionary. . 
Crichton was killed in the 3:^d (some say the 22d) 
year of his age.

ceived into his collection. Mr. Poole gives the 
Clitics, as lus title implies, ai one view : the different 
opinions of the various conmientators are brought 
together, and by small fetters intermingled with the 
text; their names are referred to in the margin. 
But this is not managed so as to preclude obscurity 
and confusion* The work however has conside- 
rable merit, and is now advancing in price. It 
was reprinted at Utrecht in 1 684, 5 vol. fol. with 
sooie addidons ; but the original work is still pre- 
ftaxed. — Matthew Poole^ the author^ was a very

and died at Amsterdam in 1679. He was a learned 
commentator, a good casuist, and a modest, gentle,

Dr, Cudworih was born in Somerset In I6179 and 
died. at Cambridge in 16S8. He has been accused 
of leaning too much to the Platonists in his InteUeC'^ 
iual Sj/stem, But has he done this farther than the 
Platonists were right ? His Intellectual System is 
a complete storehouse of ancient literature ; and it' 
a work of the first merit in tlie republic of letters. 
He is author of another excellent work on the Eter^ 
nal and immutable Nature of Vice and Virtue.

is allowed to be noble, elegant, and pure ; and his 
reflectiotii luniihouSy ingenious, and solid. Bift his 
chronology and geography are indiilerent. In de* 
scribing the pompous march of Darius, he represents 
him as seated on a car consecrated to Jupiter^ and 
adorned with the statues of the Roman gods I as- if 
the Persians either reverenced or even' knew Jupiter 
or any of the Roman deities I Some learned men 
have considered the whole history as a very inge-i

Saint Cj/rU succeeded his maternal uncle Thto* 
philus in the see of Alexandria, A. D. 412; ia 
which office he continued till 444» when he died. 
His style is inelegant, obscure, and desultory. He 
is allowed to have been a very zealous defender of 
tlie faith ; — but the faith has gained little credit from 
such defenders ! £ndeavouring to exterminate the 
Jews from Alexandria, they formed a cabal, got the 
governor Orestes on their side, made an attack on 
the Christians, and slew many of them. The monks 
of Nitriot hearing of tlie opposition the governor 
and the Jews made to the patriarch, assembled in a 
tumultuous manner, wounded the governor with 
stones; and supposing tliat the famous HypatiA 
(daughter of Tkanii one of the most beautiful wo* 
men, best mathematicians, and profound philosoi- 
phers of her age) had excited Orestes against the 
patriarch, headed by a lector named PeteVf they 
way-laid her on her return to her own house, drag* 
gcd her to the Cesarean church, stripped her, and 
beat her to deatli with potsherds I Their savage 
cruelty did not end here ; fqr they cut her in-pieeei^ 
and then burned the mangled body to ashes I S^ 
Fleury^s Ecclesiastical History. " This barbarous 
act," says the historian Socrates^ *' brought great 
reproach botli on St Cyril and the whole church/' 
And well it might ; for it was an act tliat tigers and 
incarnate demons alone could perpetrate.— Zi^/ia/i^ 
had composed many works in philosophy and ma« 
thematics, which probably all shai*ed tlie fete of th^ 
amiable authoress. The reader will be pleased to

obsenrei that it was not Christianity that committed 
these and such like barbarous outrages ; but they were 
done by men, who to their savage brutalities added 
the almost unpardonable crime of styling themselvef 
Christians I The Son of God did not come to de« 
stroy men's lives, but to save: — ^but many who havd 
called themselves his disciples, have not taken their 
instructions from the benevolent Saviour of man« 
kind.

TIth year of his age. His work concerning the 
right Use of the Fathers (in which he shews that 
their testimony should not be resorted to, for the ter- 
siination of theological controversies) has made 
much noise. Dispassionate men h^ve. sided with 
Daille, and firmly believe, that the authority of scrip- 
ture alone should be appealed to in every article of 
polemic divinity ; for this plain reason— 'Scripture is 
ever at unity with itself, and speaks nothing but in- 
fUlible truth : but controversialists on both sides can 
support their respective opinions by appeals to the

• John^ the author of the above works, was bom at 
Damascus in 676, whence he had the name ofDom 
mascenus. He was a man of great probity, and 
ftbbgh a professed Christian, the calif <A Damascus 
made him his prime minister ; but finding himself 
envM and bated on account of his elevation and 
his religion, he retired to the monastery of St. Sab* 
bas in Jerusalem, and there passed the rest of hit 
days. The Catholic writers say, that St. John Damas- 
•emit was ao zealous for the truth, that he.resorted 
sometinies to pious firibles to support it. JSuch con<« 
duct in any person leaves the difiereiice very little 
between saint and sinner. The truth has no need 
bf such support ; and is always injured and rendered 
suqicetedi when ks votaries go to Egypt for help.

** Dares Phrygius was the first historian among the

Demosthenes^ the famous Athenian orator, was 
bom at Athens, A. A. C. 381. He lost his father 9t 
7 years of age ; and was placed under the conduct 
of guardians, who robbed him of his substancei and 
neglected his education. Demosthenes soon re- 
paired this loss by liis extraordinary abiiides. He 
became the disciple of Isseus and Plato, and studied 
the Oradons of Isocrates. At the age of 17, he gave, 
a^ proof of his eloquence and abiiides against bis 
guardians, from whom he re(;pvere4 the grcate^ 



t>K lit 

JMOt of his estate. His rising talents were, howevex^, 
impeded by various natural defects, but which hd 
overcame by dint of resolution and unwearied atten- 
tion. He declaimed by the sea shore, that he might 
be used to the noise of a tumultuous assembly ; ami 
with pebbles in his mouth, that he might correct a 
defect in his speech. He practised at home with i 
ftaked sword hanging over his shoulder, that he 
Alight check an ungraceful motion to which he wa^ 
subject He confined himself in a subterraneous 
cave, to devote liimself more closely to study ; and 
to check all inclination to appear in public, he shaved 
dne' half of his head. In this solitary retircmentf 
by the help of a glimmering lamp, he composed the 
greatest part of his orations, which have since been 
(he admiration of all ages. His abilities as an oratof 
fused him to consequence at Athens, and he wai 
ioan placed- at the head of government. In this 
pablid'capacity he roused his countrymen from their 
Indolence, and animated them against the encroach- 
Aients of Philip of Macedonia. In the battle of 
Cheronaea, however, -his eloquence could not supply 
(he want of courage, and he saved his life by flight. 
After the death of Philip, he declared himself warm«* 
ly agdnst his son Alexander ; when the Macedo- 
nians demanded of tlie Athenians their orators, De- 
mosthenes reminded his countrymen of the fable of 
die sheep which delivered up their dogs to thd 
#olves. By the prevalence of party, however, he 
#as forced t6 retire to Trcezen in iEgina, where, iC 
is said, he livid with more effeminacy than heroism* 

L2 



112 D E 

When Antipater made war against Greece, after tlic 
death of Alexander, Demosthenes was publigly re- 
called from his exile, and a galley was sent to fetch 
him from y£gina. His return was attended with 
niuch splendour, and all tlic citizens crowded at the 
Pirseus to see him land. But his triumpli and po- 
pularity were short Antipater and Cnterus were 
near Alliens, and demanded all the. orators to be de- 
livered up into tlicir hands. Dcmosdicncs fled to 
ihe temple of Neptune in Calauria : when he saw 
no hopes of safety, he took a dose of poison, which 
he always carried in a quill, and expired on tlie day 
that the 1 hesmophoria were celebrated, A. A. C 
322. The Atlienians raised a brazen statue to his 
honour, with a suitable inscription. Demosthenes 
lias been deservedly called the prince of oratars,-^^ 
Indeed no orator had ever a finer field than De* 
mosthenes in his Olynthiacs and Philippic^s, which 
are his capital orations; and undoubtedly to the ^ 
greatness of the subject, and to that integrity and 
public spirit which breathe in them, tliey owe a 
large portion of their merit. The subject is, to ex* 
eite the indignation of his countrymen against Phi-. 
lip of Macedon, tlie public enemy of the liberties of 
Greece; and to guard them against the treacherous 
measures by which tliat crafty tyrant endeavoured 
to lull them into a neglect of their danger. Ckcro 
Calls him a perfect model, and such as he himself 
wished to be. These two great princes of eloquence 
have been often compared together ; butthejudg* 
mcnt btsitates to which to give the preference. —

lAwt atatdl tlieir merits with great justice and per* 
spicuity in his Reflections on Rheterie and Poetry. 
*^ I io A6t h^itate (says he) to declare, that I ddnk 
Deinosthen^ superior to Cicero. I am persuaded 
lib one can admire Cicero more than I do. Md 
adorns whatever he attempts. He does honour Co 
Itulgufigec He disposes of words in a planner pecu* 
liar to himself. His style has great variety of cba* 
rdctir. Whenever he pleases, he is evin concise 
alkl vehement ; for instance, against Catiline, against 
VenieS, against Ahtboiiy. But ornament is too vb 
^le in hii writtflgs. His art is wonderful, but it 
h p^^ived. Wheft tbe orator is providing for l3al6

Hitherto the Latin Lexicon writers, from PenU 
downwards, kept nearly in tKe same road, and con- 
sidered the vast collections of words they made 
much in the same light, till Basil Faher arosci and 
became the founder, as it were, of a new school ; 
ibr he, disdaining to tread the same common tracf 
witli those who had explained Latin words to fhd 
capacities of childven only, resolved to consider that 
language critically, which put him on searching hto, 
and illustrating the terms made use of in arts, trader' 
sciences, &c. confirming whatC he advanced by^aian/ 



and apposite examples/ together with jipoj^ithegnifi, 
short histoqeS) and such extracts as could stand foe 
authorities,. 

. In England learning made but slow advances till 
near the middle of the 16tla centuty. The first La-> 
tin and flnglisli Die tiQnarj- published here, was that 
bj Sir Thomas Elliot^ a learned knight in the court 
of king Henry VIII. who published Dictifinartum 
Latino^AngL in folio, A. D. 1541 » which was af«* 
terwards revised, and with the addition of 33»O0O 
words, .sent forth in 1552, hy Thomas Cooper !di 
Oxford, afterwards advanced to the See X)f Win- 
cb^^tQr by queen Elizabeth, who again, in 1514, put 
fijrtii .this book) under tlie title of l£,i.iuiOT2B^Biblio^ 
ihejc^ Op^TdL ei indiistria Thoma Cooperi Magda^ 
lensis. After these came a crowd of authors, who 
4rew their labpucs uito a narrower compass, as Tho* 
mas Tbomasius, whose book was very much im-». 
proved by Philemon Holland; John JRifier^ Thomas 
Holy oak ^ (ox de sacra QuercuJ Elisha Cole^ Francis 
Gouldman^ of Christ's College in Canibridge, who 
served himself of all that had gone before; so did 
Adam^Liilleton^ and the author of the Cambridge 
Dictionary, which is now but in small esteem ; 
though this author had the advantage of the.fiimous 
J6kA J/illon^s collections, whose knov^ledge in this 
way was certainly very extensive. 

Ziittf^/o/iV. Dictionary is stiU looked upon as a 
useful i^ook: the best Edition is .1123, and the last 
1735. /

the fields, to procure himself the necessari^pf life. 
When Domitian perished, and Trajan came to the 
throne, Dion returned, and was immediately taken 
into favour. This prince was exceedingly fond of 
J)ion, and used to take him into his chariot, that he 
might have the opportunity of conversing with him. 
It is said, he even caused him to ride wth hioi ia

Dim Cassias was a nadve of Bythinia, and a pep- 
son of high respectability with several Roman cmi- 
perors. He was-raade a senator by PertinaXy raised 
to the considaie by Severnsj made governor of Smyr- 
na and Pergamos by Macrinus^ and governor of 
'Africa, Dalmatia, and Pannonia, by Alexander Se^ 
n^rus. Dion returned to Rome, where he was made 
consui the second time in A. D. 229, and soon after 
retired to his own country, where he died. He coni« 
posed his Roman History in 80 books. It began 
with the arrival of JEneas in Italy, and ended with 
the rei^ of Alexander Severus. The first 34 books 
are entirely lost The 20 following, from the end 
of the 35/A to the 54M, are complete. The ^^ fol- 
lowing are imperfect, and we have only some frag» 
ments of the last twenty. Dion spent six years in 
collecting the materials of this great work, and twelve 
, years in arranging and composing the history.— 
Dion's style is allowed to be clear, his maxims solid 
and judicious, and his diction fluent ; but he is ac- 
cused of being credulous, superstitious, and partial* 
'He takes Casar^s part against Pompey, decries Cu 
€ero^ and Brutus^ and describes ISeneca as a profli- 
gate man. Posterity has not received all he has 
said on these points as truths

Dionysius the Geographer, was born at Carax 
in Arabia Felix. When be flourished is uncertain. 
Some suppose he lived under Tiberius about A. D. 
20 : but Saumaise and Scaliger think he lived un- 
^er SeveruSf or Marcus AurdiuSf about A. D. 130 
or 150.

karned. The author, who is called Exiguus^ or tt\e

Dionysius was Abbot of a monastery in Rome, and

Dionjfnus ITalicamassensis was bom at Halicar*

years before Christ, and settled at Rome, where he

consulting the -Greek and Latin authors for mate* 
rials for his great woik, the AntifuitUs of Romty

Stephen Dolet was born at Orleans in 1 509; He 
is reported to have been the natural son of Fransis L 
by a young woman of Orleans, named Cureau. He 
was an eminent Latin scholar, a poet, orator, and 
printer. He was accused of heresy, and condemn- 
ed ; though his only crime appears to have been 
his sending a packet to Paris of what the priests^ 
chose to cal] heretical books. He was publicly burnt 
at Paris, Aug. 3d, 1546, in the 36th year of his age.

DoNATUS, Editio Tabellaris, sine ulla nota. — Of 
this celebrated woilc every Bibliographer speaks* 
and acknowledges it to be one of the first efibrts at 
printing by means of letters cut on wooden blocks. 
It has been printed with several titles, such as Dona« 
Tui; DoNATUs MiTwr\ DoiiATUs pro puerulis ; 
DoNATi ^rs^ &c. but the work is the same, viz. 
Elements of the Latin Language for the Use of Chilr 
dren. The following are the principal Editions of 
tliis curious book: — 

1. DoNATiJs, 4to. sine ulla nota, Charactetie Go* 
tfiico Missalium majore crasso, et in Tabulis Lig- 
neis insculpto. — ^The character is allowed to be very 
similar to that of the Bible mentioned in this woik» 
vol. 1 . p. 185. Both are supposed to be the produce 
of the Faiisto^Guttcinbergian press at Ments, about 
A. D. 1 450. 

2. DoNATus, sine ulla nota. Charactere Missa^ 
Hum minore, &c. — ^I'his consists of 2S pages ; the 
character similar to the preceding. Meerman, Origm , 
Tj/pogr, vol. 2. p. 220. Tab. IL gives a foe simile • 
of a fragment of this rare work, and which he attri- 
butes to Laurence Coster. But others, supported 
by more respectable documents, bciieve it to have 
been tlie first attempt made by J. Gutiemherg^ at ; 
Strasburgh, between 1436 and 1439. 

3. DoNATus Minor, &c. 4to. sine ulla nota. — In a 
Gothic character, similar to that of the Psalter 
printed by Fust in 1457. — In the first page tliere is 



m wooden cut, lepresenting a school-maiter ; and in 
the 2d, a figure of St Jerom. 

4, DoNATus EtimologVMtus^ 4to« sine ulla nota. 
It contains 12 leaves, is done in a Gothic charactery 
and the initials are similar to those of the Bible 
princed^at Mentsc, in 1462, by Fust and Schoiffcr. 
See vol. 1. p. 186. 

5. Do7?ATus Etimologizatusy 4to. sine ulla nota* 
*— The character is Gothic, but more elegant than 
that of the preceding. It consists of 24 leaves. In 
the-first page there is a cut, representing a master 
teaching hb scholars. 

6* DoNATUS EtimologizatuSy 4to. sine ulla nota; 
^— tVith a German interpretation. 

7. DoNATUS Minor, 4to. Hafntae, Got/tndus de

year 1491.

10. DoKATUS Minor, 4to. Colonise, QuenteU 
3 457. — ^The above Edition is said to have been seen 
at Di-esden, in the year 1722, by Mr. La Croze and 
Mr. Duchai. But there is undoubtedly a mistake 
somewhere, either in the account or in the date; for 
it does not appear that Zmntcl printed any book 
i/vith a date at Cologne previous to 1479. 

11. DoNATUs Minor, sine ulla nota. — This is 
supposed to have been done by Swynkeim and 
Pannartx^ with metal types. It is not likely that a 
perfect copy of this is extant. The fragment pos* 
sessed by Mariangelus Accursius^ was probably of 
this Edition. 

12. DoNATus Gramma//cu^, AUegorice Traduc*

ttr Zainef\ who was a printer at Augsburg in 1468: 
It consists of 7 leaves. Denis mentions another 
Edition, in Gothic characters, which he sapposcs 
was printed in 1470. It consists of 2$ leaves.

Mr. Eager Dodswarih had the principal share ia 
this work. He spent 30 years in collecting, far and 
wide, the different charters^ grants, records, &c. of 
whicli it is composed. Sir IF. Dugdale supervised 
the whole, ahd added much to every part; and Jkfr. 
Stccens has very nearly completed the undertsking 
In his supplementary volumes already noticed. The 
original work is extremely scarce^ and very dear^ 
and not always to be found complete. The 3d vo» 
lume is particularly scarce. Mr. Stevens's woik is 
also uncommon ; but the 2d volume is remarkably 
rare. Some Catholic writers say, that the reason 
why the Monasticon is so scarce is, the British go* 
vcrnment suppressed it, lest the popish religion should 
be again established in these nations ; and the cleigy^ 
knowing from this work the lands, &c. granted 
to tlic different religious houses, should be led to 
reclaim them. This I believe to be a mere slan- 
der; for the only reason of the scarcity of the work 
js, that there were few copies printed ; and that 
when its merit was known abroad, the copies were 
ail eagerly bought up. This is the reason why the 
book is perhaps more frequently to be met with on 
tlie Contineni than in Great Britain. 

\Vhat a pity it is, that such an important work is 
not reprinted ! a work so essential to the history 
(political, religious, and literary) of Great Britain. 
If some public-spirited bookseller would come for* 
ward, and offer a new Edition of the ilonastuvn to 



Ibc natbOf I have no doubt but the public at laige 
would favour the uodertaking. In a new Edition 
the ori^al materials m^ght perhaps be better ar- 
Fanged, the Supplement of Mr. Stevens incorporated 
with it, as also Mr. Dugdale's History of SL PauVs^ 
Lond. 1658, foL to which a Glossary should be an* 
nexed, to explain the difficult and obsolete words. 

Sir W, Dugdale was born in Warwickshire in 
1605, and died in 1686. He was a correct historian 
and profound antiquarian : he is author of several 
works, all of which are deservedly esteemed.

St. Dunstan was a relative of Athelstan king of

institutions in England. The Catholic writers say 
that he was the restorer of literature also* But tlie 
protcstants assert tliat, by promoting the building and 
cniiowment of so great a number of houses for the

George El-Makin was an Egyptian historian : he 
was secretary to the califs, though he professed the 
Christian religion. He died in 1238. Both he, 
and Ebtt Batrikj tell us of the curious method Con« 
6tantine the Great made use of to convert the Jews 
to Christianity. As it was supposed thatmany of these 
liad professed to be Christians while they conti-* 
aued Jews in their hearts, swine's flesh was boiled, 
and cut into mouthfuls, and a portion placed at the 
door of every church. All that entered were obliged 
to eat a piece of the flesh. Those that were Jews 
in their hearts refused: thus they were detected, and 
immediately put to death ! In that day, says El* 
Makin, a multitude of Jews was cut off!

that in order to be reputed a god, he tlirew himself 
into one of the craters on tlie top of the mountain \ 
but that one of his slippers^ which was of hrass^ was 
thrown up with some melted lavay and thus the tridd 
was discovered ! It is surprising tliat this ridiculous 
and self-confuted tale should be still credited by men 
of sense and learning! Some say he hanged him- 
self, others that he threw himself into the sea, &c. 
a sufficient proof that the manner of his death is

The best Latin Edition is that of FomuSy printecl at 
Cologne in 4to. 1616, and published by the Bene* 
(iictincs of St. Maur, in their IttbL Pair, jtscet foL 
Par. 1661. 

Epkraim was the son of a poor Syrian, and in 
his youth a very profligate character : at hist convinc- 
rri of the iniquity of his life, he retired to the desart* 
and spent his time in humiliation and prayer, and 
that he profited much in these exercises, lua Wt>rlu 
sufTuicntly attest. Perhaps no man. Davit except- 
ed, ever described more feelingly, and in more ap- 
propriate language, the sorrows of a penitent heart. 
He became deacon of the church of EdessOf but 
retired again to tl>e dcsart towards the conclusion of 
his life, and there died about A. D. 319. The Edi- 
tion of his works by the learned 3/r. Assanmt^ auk* 
librarian of the Vatican, is very complete. The 
three fust volumes contain his Greek woiks ; thi 
three last those written in Sj/riac: these are accom- 
panied with a Translation, Prolegomena, Notes, 
aMid Prefaces. Ephraim was' contemporary with 
Gregory Nyssen^ St. Basils and TheadareL The 
former termed him, *• The Doctor of the universe }*• 
ihc latter, " The Lyre of the Holy Spirit"

ICpiphanius^ bishop of Salamis, was bom in Pa» 
Icstinc about A. D. 320. He is reckoned one of 
Hicfathtrs of tlie church. From his worics he ap- 
pears to have been a person of very extensive read* 
ing, but of little judgment, and very credukms. — 
He adopted ridiculous fables, and flying reports of 
no authenticity, all of which he published as truths. 
I^lis style is of the lowest kind, dull and uninterestingc 
Und hi^ writings unconnected and obscure. His trea* 
tisc on weights and measures is however allowed 
to be a very useful piece. One thing which xenderg 
the works of Epiphanius pecuflarly valuable is, hit 
many quotations from profane and, ecclesiastical 
writers, the names of whom we only know fiom 
those fragments which be has preserved.

sity of Oxford, intending to publish all the Greek 
Mathematicians, began with Euclid^ as the stand- 
ard writer of tlie elements of geometry and arith- 
metic. In this Edition is published whatever has been 
believed to be Euclid's by any considerable mathe^ 
matician : but many things having been attributed tifr. 
Euclid that are not his, (as in after ages it happeneAJ 
to men of such established fame as he has been &>V 
above 2000 years) D)\ Gregory ^ in the PrefacCy ftftetf 
a short summary of Euclid's Life, (as fxc^A can 



n 



galher^d froni the trritinigs of the tncicnts» wboi 
were ashamed to set down particulars of hioa who; 
was 80 much and universally known) gives not only^ 
a description of each particular book, but also his opi- 
nion whether it be truly Euclid's or not, with his rea- 
tons. First of ail are the Elenienis^ which make 
two-thirds of tlie whole volume. The first thirteea 
books are certainly Euclid's: the 14th smd 15th are 
hj most thought to be Hifpsicles^s of Alexandria. 
There are no Scholia^ no explications added to the 
Elements (being thought needless to a book of Ele- 
ments written with so much judgment as tliis is) nor 
any notes, except in some very few places^ where 
there are Various Headings that are material) or 
where the Text is manifestly corrupted. Next come 
the Daia^ which are undoubtedly Euclid's, yea,, 
more undoubtedly than the Elements themselves* 
For many have said that Theon did quite change the 
ISjeiiients, and supply their demonstrations, but ne- 
?cr any body questioned whether the Data are Eu- 
clid's. Dr. Gregory y in the Preface, compares this. 
l)odk: with Pappus'* s description of it, restores some 
places in it that have been corrupted, and shews the 
«e that the ancients made of these Data. The two 
Musical Tracts follow, which the Editor thinks are 
SKYt both Euclid's; it may be neither, as is fully set 
forth in tlie Preface. Next are Euclid's Phtcnomina^ 
thich were never before published in Greek. This 
book is not doubted to be Euclid's, it agreeing with 
Pappuses description of it. Dr. Gregory has re- 
,liored its own original figures, which Josephus 



132 EU 

Auridf in his Translation^ had changed for others far 
less convenient and intelligible. After this coaies 
the Optidf and Catoptrics^ which, if not spurious, 
(for Proclus indeed mentions books of Euclid con* 
cerning these subjects) are very much corrupted, as 
in the Preface is fully shewn. To these are added 
the Notes of the noble and learned Sir Henry Sa^ 
vile^ founder of the two matliematical chairs in the 
University of Oxford, which he wrote on the maigin 
of his own book, and which shew that he was as 
great a master in mathematics as be was a patron of 
them. Next in order is the book de Dioisiomhus. 
This commonly goes under tlie name Machomeies 
Bagdedinus. But because there is no hwAi extant of 
Euclid's with this title, altliough it is clear from Pro^ 
clus tliat he wrote such a one ; and because Mr. John 
Decy who translated it, thinks that this is Euclid's, 
it was thought proper to publish it here. To this 
aiso are joined some Notes of Sir Henry Savile^ 
which exceedingly clear the matter. Lastly, there 
is a fragment, de Levi et Ponderoso^ published by 
Hervagius in Latiriy and by Tatraglia in Italian^ 
which commonly passes for Euclid's. These two 
last arc not to be found in Greeks they being lost if 
ever they were in that language. There are several 
other of KiicKd's works, mentioned by Pappus and 
ProcliiSy that are quite lost. These Dr. Gregory 
describes at length in tlic Preface, to which we remit 
those that are curious — Philosophical Transactions^ 
vol. xxiv. p. 1538 — 1560. 

This excellent Edition has scarcely left any thing 
undone, which the admirei-s of Euclid can desire.

Euclidf the Mathematician, was born at Megara»

and Ptolomy Philadelpbus, about 200 years before

and in this, kings could have no privileged way beyond 
peasants. S

£unapius was a native of Sardis in Lydi«i a so- 
phisty physician, and historian, under the re^ns of 
Vahyitinian^ Valais^ and Gratiaru He wrote a 
history of tlie Ctesars, all of which is lost, except 
a few fragments preserved in Suidas. His Lives of 
the Philosophers are written with considerable per- 
spicuity and elegance. But the work is disgraced 
^vith the indignities offered to Christianity. He ex- 
aggerates the virtues of the heathens, and lessens 
those of the Christians. Eunapius is the saine for 
the later philosophers, as Diogenes Laertius is for 
the elder.

Commentators on Euripides, see vol 3. p. 36. 

Euripides^ the celebrated tragic Greek poet, was 
bom at Salamis in the 480th year before the Chris- 
tian sera. He learned rhetoric under Prodicut^ 
morality under . Socrates^ and natural philosophy 
under Anaxag^ras : but at eighteen years of age be 
abandoned philosophy for dramatic poetry, for 
which he was eminently qualified. He shut him« 
self up in a cave, and there composed his tragedies, 
which were greatly admired by the Greeks. The 
army of the Athenians, commanded by Nicias^ ran- 
somed their lives, and regained their liberty, by re- 
citing the verses of this Greek poet It is said that 
Socrates went to see his plays acted, and they were 
tl\G only compositions of this kind ever counte- 
nanced by this eminent sage. Euripides was twice 
married, but both wives behaved so ill, that h&ng 
exposed to the raillery of Anstcphaties on the occa- 
sion, he retired to the court of Archelaus^ king of 
Macedon, . vyhere he was well received. From the 
scandalous behaviour of his wives, he conceived 
considerable enmity against the whole seXf which 
frequently appears in his writings. Of 15 tragedies 



E X3 208 

(some say 92) whieh he composed, only 19 remdn; 
the chief of which are the Phdenissie^ Orestes^ Me^^ 
dea^ Andrtmtache^ Iphigenia in AuIl% Iphigenia in 
Tauris^ the Troades, Electray Hercules^ and ffj/^ 
politus: fiut the two last are allowed to be his mas* 
ter-pieces. After his Andromache had been acted 
among the Abderites, they were all struck with a 
species tf melancholy y occasioned by the effect pro« 
duced on their mind by the representation of this 
piece. ^ What is most excellent in this poet is, he ik 
always the declared advocate of virtue. The in- 
structions of Socrates are sufficiently evident in the 
compositions of his eminent disciple. It is said he 
was torn to pieces by the tlogs of Archelaus^ when 
walking in the woods in deep study. Probably he 
was privately assassinated through tlie envy of some 
of the courtiers, for Solinus^ says Archeiaus, haid 
made him his prime minister ; and this could i)ot fail 
to raise up enemies against him. His death hap- 
pened 407 years before the birtli of Chris t, whea 
about 63 years of age.

history bc^ns at the birdi of oiir Lord, and comes 
down to the defeat of Licinus. It is a work .of con- ' 
adexable importance and Yalue; but every serious

of the author. That Eusebius was an Ariant seve* 
lal have endeavoured to prove ; but this was heed*

point it VO0LJ be well to consult die following work:

Arianism was particularly noted, he was called saint f 
and placed by I/^noiri^^ in his Martyrok^; but^o* 
ronius struck out his name, and put Eusebius Samo* 
$affnsis in his place : he therefore with the Catho- 
lics now ranks among the heretics. His Evangelical

four Gospels and Psalms, he wrote one also on So-

and allegorical ; but in the use of allegory, be is 
more rational than most of the authors of the ISth

EiUychius was patriarch of Alexandria from 
A- D. 933 to 940. His Annals^ translated and pub* 
lishcd by the very learned Dr. Pocock, are not sup- 
posed to be very correct, either in the historical or 
chronological parts. Selden has endeavoured to 
prove from tlicm that presbyters and bishops were 
of the same order in the early ages of the church : 
and the learned Mr. Asseman^ who is a Cmtholicy 
has endeavoured to prove the contrary. The con- 
troversy on this point is at present useless. Bishops 
and presbyters are ncw^ by general consent and long 
custom, very distinct orders, botli in ecclesiastical 
and civil affairs ; and all the criticism in the world 
on Greek and Arabic words, and passages in ancient 
authors, will be insufficient to induce them to blend 
their authority and dignities. Should all the bishopc 
become presbyters, or all the presbyters become 
bishops, religion would profit little from the chai^. 
The presbyter may please himself with supposing 
he has equal authority with the bishops : but few 
will believe him. 1 he bishop may assert that his 
order and that of tlie priests were ever distinct ; but 
those who are well acquainted with ecclesiastical an- 
tiquity will hesitate to give their assent. The best 
that can at present be said on this almost exhausted 
subject is, — ^Thcy arc now distinct orders and they 
had better continue so.

Our own Bibliographers ha?e justly observedt that 
*< it was a constant opinion, delivered down by our 
historians, that the art of printing was introduced 
and first practised in England by JVUUam Caxtcnf 
a mercer, and citizen of London; who, by his tra» 
vels abroad, and a residence of many years in Hol- 
land, Flanders, and Germany, in the afiairs of trade, 
had an opportunity of informing himself of the 
whole method and process of the art ; and, by the 
encouragement of the great, and paiticularly of the 
abbot of Westminster, first set up a press in that ab- 
bey, and began to print books soon after the year 
1 47 1 • But of this honour Mr. Caxton has been de- 
prived by our writers since the Restoration; and 
this on the authority of a. book printed at Oxford 
three years before that year l<ist mentioned; of 
which, it seems, there is a copy in the public library 
in Cambridge ; the title whereof runs thus : £xp&^

i/itkin9f Esq. published, in a thifl 4to« volume, The 
Of^^gimU and Grmuih of Printing, collected out of 
ike HisUny and Records of this Kingdom. In this 
we hare an account of the discovery of a record at 
Lambethrhouse, in the register of the see of Can- 
terbury; giving an account of the introduCtbn of 
printing into England, and written as if drawn up at 
the very time* It sets forth, that printing having 
m^e some noise in Eur<^, Thofnas Bourchier^ 
archbishop of Canterbury, moved king Edward the 
Sixth to cause it to be brought into England. In or- 
der to this, the king dispatched Mr. Robert Tumour^ 
who took to his assistance William Caxton; and 
A^se 'hvo foilnd means to entice over iflto tU^Iand 
cttie Frederick CbmUlis, til imdor-wotkman in the 
pifftfing-house at Hartelii, i^#tt John Guttenberg 
had liHely invented the atl, and Was then personatly 
^ work ; Which Corsellis was immediately sent to 
Oxfeifd, nn6et a guard, to pteteiit his escape, and 
to obSge him to the performance of his contract ; 
#here he finished the piece above-mentioned, with- 
otit putting his name to it. From this authority 
Mr. Anihonjf Wood, the learned Mr. Mdttaire^ 
Palmer J and one Bagfordy whose papers are extant, 
declared Corsellis to be the first printer in England. 
" The credit of this record was attacked by Dr. 
MiddUton ; who observed, 1 st. That the whole of 
tbis tonsaction must have passed before the year 
1 459 ; for, in the end of that year, king Edward 
the Fourth was proclaimed in London : and how 

U2 



220 E X 

king Henry, in the midst of all his troubles, when 
lie was struggling both for life and crown, came to 
enter upon such a design, is inconceivable ; as it 
likewise is, how Corsellis came to be near ten years 
at Oxford before tlie publication of the first fruits of 
his press. 2dly, The silence of Caxion, concerning 
a fact in which he is said to have been a principal 
actor, is a sufficient confutation of tlie whole story. 
In the continuation of the Pol^chronicon, compiled 
by Caxton himself, and carried down to the end of 
tbc reign of Henry tlie Sixth, he takes not the least 
notice of this expedition in quest of a printer* but^ 
en tlie contrary, acquaints us, that he was beyond 
sea twelve years after, learning with great chaise 
and trouble the art of printing ; which he might 
have done with ease at home, if he had got QiT'' 
sellis into his hands. Sdly, The record carries die 
most direct and internal proof of his forgery, in as- 
cribing the origin of printing to Harlem, and setting 
iJiiittnberg^ the inventor thereof, to work there, 
when Corsellis was brought away ; and in asserting 
the art to have been first earned to Mentz by a bro* 
tber of one of Guttenberg's workmen : for it is be- 
yond all doubt, that printing was first invented at 
Mentz ; and Caxton^ s testimony seems alone to be 
decisive, who says. About this time (1455) the 
erajie of emprinting ^as first found in Mogounce 
in Almayne. As to the Lambeth record, as it was 
never heard of before AlkirCs book, so it was never 
sccii since ; and on tliese grounds our author pro* 
JUiunccs it a forgery. But though tlie record is thus 



E X 2jti 

got rid of» jet tbc book stands firm K$ a meajumeot 
of die exercise of jniotii^ in Oxford six years b€>* 
fore any book of CkrAmV bears dale. The Doctor 
conjectures, however^ that an X has some way or 
othet been dropped in the date of the impression : 
he gives us many examples of mistakes of the iikd 
nature ; sottie casual, some by design* He obsenres 
next, that it is a much more nedt and regular piece, 
which is attributed to Cors^llis^ than any of CaxtorCs 
are ; from whence it mi^ with reason be inferred^ 
that it could not be older. The Oxford book like- 
wise has signatures, which were not invented, as aH 
kuthors agree, till the year 1470, or later ; and were 
not used by Caxton till 1 480. Besides, what proba^ 
bility is there, that this Oxford press should remain 
nnempbyed for eleven years afterwards ; whereas^ 
apposing the X dropped, and consequently tlie 
book printed ten years later, all &ese doubts will 
Vahirii ; the use of signaftures will be no objection^ 
^nidihe catalogue of books printed at Oxford wil 
1^ on regularly from the year 1478. Which indeed 
are strong presumpticms that Dr. MiddleUm has 
f uessed the truth. - 

*• In the last place, we have the positive evidence 
of CaxtorCs being the first printer of this kingdom, 
stated. Stow^ in his survey of London, speaking of 
the thirty-seventh year oi Henry Wh or 1458, says. 
The noble science of printing was at this time found 
at Ms^unce, by John Guttemberg a knight^ and 
William Caxton of Londony mercer ^ brought it into 
England about the year 1471, and first practised 

US 




the same in the abbey of Westminster. Trusset 
gives tlic same account in the history of Heniy 
VL uml Sir liivhard Baker^ in his Chronicle ; and 
Mr, I/eurll^ in his Ijondinopolis^ describes the 
place where the abbot of Westminster first set up 
ttio press for Caxion^s use. John Ldsland^ library- 
kcrpcr to Henry ihc Kighth, who, by way of ho- 
lunir, had the tiilc of antiifuary^ and lived near to 
Va.vUuis own lime, expressly calls him, thifirstpriiu 
ter of England ; and speakshonourably of his works. 
And, as he had spent some time in Oxford, he could 
hardly be ignorant of tlic origin and history of print* 
ing in that univcntity. The celebrated Mr. Uemy 
Wharton^ and the no less celebrated Mr. Dupin^ 
style him X\iQ first printer of England; and« in^ 
deed, his own works, to a curious and knowing en- 
cpiirer, will appear very authentic tcslinrionies of the 
tVLitli of this assertion ; for the rudeness of the letter* 
irregularity of the page, want of signatures, initial 
letters, (S:c. and, above all, his colophons, agtcc ex- 
actly with the beginnings of this art elsewhere. The 
learned author tells us, that the course of his stu- 
dios, and the nature of his employment, engaged 
him to pay some attention tt) the little points of his-^ 
tory ; which, in this essay* he has endeavoured to 
set right: but, what above all excited him thereto, 
was the dosirc of doing justice to the memory of our 
wortliy countryman William CaxUm^ and to prevent 
.his being robbed of the honour due to him, for having 
iirst imported into this kingdom an art uf great bene- 
fit to mwiikind ; a kind of merit, that, in the sense of 
aU nations, ^ives the best title to true praise, and the

^tEtaplet^ was born at the above tevm^ in the dxH 
ceae of Amieiis, aboot A. D. 1435. He wai pro^ 
6$aor of the belles lettres and philosophy in the Uni» 
verity of Paris. Notwithstanding the chicaneries 
which prevailed in the schools through the almosi 
ttaiveisal attachoient to the sublime trifling of the 
achohtftic doctors, Le Fevre eodeavouredi and not 
un8ucoessfuUy» to introduce sometfiing more soUdt 
and especially the study of the learned langui^^es. 
Witt^'^ Srifonetf bishop of Meaux, chose liim fox 
his gomd vicar in 1533. This prelate, being sus* 
pected of fiwouring Lutheranism, and persecuted on 
the account, Le Fevre was obliged to leave his ser-i 
vice, for fear of being involved ia the same calami- 
ties with the bishop. After having spent some time 
at Strasburg, where there is reason to believe he pri- 
vately embraced the protestant doctrine, he returned 
to Paris, and became preceptor to Charles, duke of 
Orleans, the third son of Francis I. The Queen 
Margarets sister to that prince, invited I^e Fevre to 
Nerac in 1590, where he died in 1531. There are 
some remarkable circumstances relative to the death 
of this great man, told even by Catholic historians, 
which should not be omitted. On tlie day of his 
death, being as well as usual, while dining with At 
queen, and some learned men whom this princess 
frequently invited to spend the day with her, Le 
Fetre appeared pensive and melancholy, and waa 
observed to shed tears. The queen desired to knoiv 
what the cause, of his sadness was : he answeredf 
'* iam distressed because of the* enormity of Wf 




228 

crimes. I am now 101 years of age; and though I 
hare lived a chaste life, and have been preserved 
from those excesses into which many are huxried by 
the violence of their passions, yet I have been guilty 
of tills heinous oilence — I have known the truth,' 
and have taught it to many who have sealed it with 
their Uood, and yet I have had tlie weakness to hide 
myself in those places where the crowns of martyrs 
arc never distributed." Having said this, he dictated 
his will viva rocey went and lay down on his bed, 
and died in a few hours ! liruysset. Diet. Hist.

John Albert Fabricius was born at Leipisig irf 
i<f67. He became professor of eloquence at Ham- 
burg, where he died in 1736. He was a profoundly 
learned man ; had a prodigious memory ; a facility of 
writing, which few men ever possessed ; and scaixiely 
ever lost an instant of time. He was a man of great 
modesty and gentleness, by which he acquired the 
esteem of all who knew him. He is author of seve- 
ral other works, which, with the former, have se- 
cured his fame to the remotest posterity, if indeecT 
tfds can be any gratification to a dead man.

Fublius Nigidiiu Figuluswzs contemporary inth, 
and intimate friend to Cicero. This great orator re- 
presents him as tlie most learned oun, qext to Varra^ 
which Rome could boast of. He was very useful to 
Cicero in detecting the conspiracy of Catiline : but 
having espoused Pampey^s interest against C^esar^ 
he was banished, and died in exile about 45 years 
before our Lord. He was a great augur and astrolo- 
ger, and St. AugusUn says he got the sumaaae //jg'tt- 
luSf i. e. a Potter^ because he made use of a simile 
drawn from a potter's wheel, to answer the following 
objection made to his science of astrology: Why 
have not twins the same lot in life ? Figuha^ like 
every otiicr would-be occult philosopher^ is said to 
have written in such an abstracted and occult nuumery 
that his contemporaries neglected his writings, for 
this plain reason — thty could not understand them : 
and perhaps that reason was founded ou another, 
not less powerful — they could not be understood,

P. Aff9^ in his Memorie sulla Typographia Par^

Of Philip Beroaldus^ whose name we so oflen»

a noble family, in 1453. He taught school in his na-

esteem for his learDtng i but his moxal character 
was of the most profligate kind. lie laved^ says 
his biographer, the pleasures of ike table : that is^ 
in plain English, he was a glutton and a druHtai-d. 
He was also pasuonately fond of gaining, and lost 
ail he possessed in this execrable employment.--* 
Added to all this, he had an excessive fondness for 
women ; and» says Bruyssct^ rienneluicmUoilpour 
parvenir au but de ses desirs. He studc at nodiing 
to accomplish his criminal purposes. At last he got 
married to a prudent, industrious, and amiable wo« 
man, who knew how to attract his affections by her 
gentle and obliging conduct. The consequence wat» 
Beroaldus soon became a totally changed man. Dis» 
sipation, riot, and excess, were completely banished 
from his heart and dwelling, and he became a man 
whose moral conduct was of the most exemplarj 
kind ; and this character he maintained till his death, 
which happened in 1 505. His case is a farther proof 
of the wise man's assertion : A prudent wife is/rmn 
the Lord; — and he that Jindeth such an one^Jlndeth 
a good thing. A collection of his works was pub- 
lishcd in 1507, and 1513, 2 vols. 4to.

Lucius Julius Amueus Florus was. of tbe Aane-

his Epitome of tbe Roman history in 14 books, 
which may be rather considered a pMnegjfrk on 
tlie Roman people than a connected hiitxiKj.*!- His 
style is allowed to be on the whole elegftnt,. but. too 
flowery. Florus was a poet as well aa.an historiaa:

in the fbllowiilg terca^ : << The view with which 
tbis Editiofl of the Sirgfagems qfFrmiiiuu was pub» 
Ushect wiU astonbh many of our readers. Mr. W. 
is, however, of cpIoio>&i that the reading of this aiH 
thor wilj be found much more useful to the tyro than 
that of Euiropki^^ Nepa^^ JustiHi Vulerius Maxi^ 
nuSf a4d others. As for tbe language, Nepos ia 
edrtainly preferable to Front^uSp but if we look ta 
the subjects upon which Frontinus has treated, wo 
casiiot deny that his accounts are more variegated 
and interesting, than the dry breviary of Fuiropiur^ 
better connecCied than tlie frequently uncritical rela« 
dons of NepffSf and that, besides, the reading of 
this autlior is less dangerous to innocence than Jus* 
tin and Valerius may prove, on account of their 
freedom of language. We apprehend, howevcfn 
on the other hand, that the class of readers for 
which tliis Edition is designed, will soon be tired by 
tbe great sameness of the stratagems which are re- 
lated in one chapter, and under one head. As for 
tbe notes which tlie fcarned editor has subjoined,

they are as pertinent as the text is correct ; and the 
two Indexes which are affixed, will contribute ▼er7 
much to facilitate the reading of an author who hi« 
tlicrto has been very much neglected. 

Sextus Julius Fr^niinus was a bnif e Roman war« 
I'ior, and learned lawyer. He was made pr«tor, 
A. D. 70, and afterwards consul. Vespasian sent 
him, in 78, against the ^ri^nf, whom, it is said, he 
had the honour of defeating in several battles. He 
was made superintendent of tlie public aqueducts by 
Nti'va in 97, and was consul for the third dme under 
Trajan^ in A. D. 100. He died in 106, and Pliny 
succeeded him in the augural dignity. His books 
of Sfratagetns prove him to have been an experi- 
enced officer.

Fabius Fulgentius Planciadfs is an anchor of an 
uncertain age ; but he probably liv<ed in the 9th or' 
9 th century. He is a barbarous and insipid writer; 
and scarcely merits any consideration. The grossest 
darkness had overspread the whole horizon of EurtK

dered at that his works bear the impress' of the age 
in which he lived.

a most curious work. It was translated by Mr. 
Chamberlaiyiy and published at London in 1650, 8vo, 
with the following title, '' Unheard of Curiosities, 
concerning tlie Talismanical Sculpture of the Per- 
sians, the Horoscope of the Patriarchs, and the 
reading of tlic Stars." It is a feast for an occuli phi* 
losophcr, but it is very scarce. It is said that cardinal 
Richlicu employed Gaffarel to endeavour to unite 
the Ca^LcIics and Protestants, and that, in order to 
this, he wrote the work entitled, Quastio Pacifica.

\vas» perhaps, at tlils time, corrector of the press. 
Tliis book is printed with a degree of elegance 
ivhich is now seldom attained. The leaves are re- 
gularly numbered with numeral letters on the top, 
and signatures at the bottom. On the top is the 
king's name, whose reign is related ; and on the 
margin the contents of each passs^ beautifully dis- 
posed. Nor has the illuminator been less carefuli 
having decorated them with particular attention.* 
The copies are ruled, not only on the edges of the 
pages, but in every space between the lines, which 
was sometimes practised at that time, probably that 
printed books might retain the air of beautiful manu^ 
scripts, which were ruled in that manner to direct 
the writer. 'I'he initials of each chapter are adorned 
with red and gold. The paragraphs are distinguish- 
ed, not by an interval continued to the end of the 
line, but by a small space of tlie breadth of two let- 
ters, which is filled up with gold, upon blue and red 
alternately. The character is Roman; the abke* 
viations few." 

Robert Gaguin was general of the Mathurins, 
born at Collines, in the diocese of Amiens, and died 
at Paris in 1501. He was employed by Charles 
Vni. and Lewis XII. in many important difficult 
negotiations in Italy, Germany, and England. He 
is allowed to have written better Latin than any of 
his contemporaries.

Theodore Gaza was one of those leamed-Gredes^ 
who transplanted the Grecian aits into Italy, aftertfae 
taking of Constantinople in 1 453. He was originally 
of Thessalonica. Cardinal Bessarion befriendedbim 
much, and procured him a benefice in Calabria. He 
died at Rome in 1475, aged 80 years. His Gram* 
piar is highly spoken of by critics ; and peffaapi 
they are the only persons who can profit by it ; as iC 
is certainly too obscure for beginners.

Gennadhis was at first called Georgius Scholaris ; 
he was made patriarch of Constantinople after it 
was taken by the Turks in 1453, and was invested 
with that office by Mahomet II. who, after the cus- 
tom of the Greek emperors, put the pastoral stafF 
ill his hand : but seeing the troubles inciease, he ab- 
dicated in 1458, and retired to a monastery in Ma- 
rcdonia, where he died about A. D. 1460. He is 
allowed to have been one of the most learned Greeks 
in the 1 5th century. Previous to the taking of Con* 
stantinople he was judge-general of the Greeks, se* 
tary to the Kmperor, and his preacher in ordinary.

defeated and subdued the Germans ; whence he was 
styled Germanicus. It is said that Tiberius his un* 
cle, jealous of iiis great successes, caused Piso to 
poison him at Daphne. He was a wise, prudent, 
and amiable man, a very skilful captain, and an ele- 
gant scholar. By his wife Agrippina he had nine 
children^ one of whom was Caligula, a son utterly 
unworthy of such a father. He died in the :54th

Donatus (Arte Grammaticus per Allcgoriam tra- 
ductus) Venerabilis Magistri Joan. Gerson, circa 
annum 1476. 

John Gerson is said to have been a Benedictine ab- 
bot of Vcrceil, who flourished in the 13th century. 



G E 29:5 

But some suppose him to be an imaginary author. 
The controversy concerning tlie true author of the 
Imitation of Christy generally ascribed to Thomas a 
Keinpisy and by some to Gerson^ has led the Kem- 
pisians to call even the existence of Gerson into 
question Indeed there is no proof sufficient to con- 
vince a sceptic on this subject, that either Gerson or 
Kempis is the real author. The holy man who 
wrote it, probably never owned it, being contented 
with that honour that comes firom God : and those 
who first discovered it were led to attribute it to cer- 
tain holy persons who had lived near those times, 
and whom, from their exalted piety, they supposed 
capable of writing so excellent a work.

Gervasii Tilburiensis Otia Imperialia, 4to.' 
Helmstad. 1678. — Gervaise of Tilbury was an 
Englishman, nephew to Henry II. He was in great 
credit with Otho IV. to whom he dedicated the above 
work, which is a chronicle of all the kings of Eu- 
n>pe. He flourished in the 18th century, and wrote 
a history of England, and one of the Holy Land» 
which are not much esteemed.

Conrad Gesner^ surnamed the German Pliny ^ 
was born at Zurich in 1 5 1 6. He professed medicine 
and philosophy with great reputation. After having 
spent his whole life in the cultivation of literaturCf 
he wished to finish his days among his books. Feel* 
iiig himself attacked with the plague, he desired to 
be carried into his study ; where he expired, Dec. 
22, 1569, in the 49th year of his life. The follow- 
ing epitaph was made for him. 

Ingcfdo vivens naturam vicerat omnem ; 

Natura victus conditur hoc tumulo. 

Beta says, ** Gcsner possessed all the knowledge 
which Pliny and Varro shared between tliem.*'— ^ 
This is very good ; but Gemer probably would have 
known less than either, had not Pliny and Varrohoih 
wrote before him. To him we owe the fii'st idea 
of determining the genera of plants by their flowers^ 
ice. See Vol. n des Memoires du P. Niceron.
