"Richard Jones.) The Lives of divers excellent Orators and

in Lydia, and translated into Englishe by."

5 This book was entered in the same year by Thomas Creede,
on the books of the Stationers' Company.

• This book is only introduced, that an opportunity may be
obtained of excluding it from any future catalogue of translated
classicks. It was a fraud of Guevara's, but not undetected; for
Chapman, in his Gentleman Usher, 1602, speaks of the book
as Guevara's own. "If there be not more choice words in that
letter, than in any three of Guevara's Golden Epistles, I am a very
ass." See his article in Bayle. Our countryman Elyott did
somewhat of the same kind. He pretended to translate the
Actes and Sentences notable, of the Emperor Alexander Seve-
rus (from the Greek of Encolpius). See Fabricius' and Tanner's
Bibliothec. &c.

Other editions of this are in 1534, 1535, 1536, 1537, 1559, 1586, 1588.

"But wonder more maye Bryttayne great
