This translation was entered at Stationers' Hall in 1604. In the entries made in the books of the Stationers' Company is the following: "John Charlewood] Sept. 1581, Abstracte of the Historie of Cæsar and Pompeius. " Do. by G.

Marcus Tullius Cicero †, three Bookes of Duties, tourned In the Stationers' books this or some other translation of the same author was entered by Richard Tottell, Feb. 1582, and again by Tho. Creede, &c. 1599. Mattaire says [Ann. Typog. B. 290] "in florulentâ tituli margunculâ (vulgo vignette) superiore, inscribitur 1534." This was a wooden block used by the printer Tottel, for many books in small 8vo. and by no means determines their date. There may, however, have been some earlier translation than any here enumerated, as in Sir Thomas Elyot's Boke named the Governour, 1537, is mentioned "the worke of Cicero, called in Latine De Officiis, whereunto yet is no propre English worde," &c. out of Latin into English, by Nic. Grimalde* 1555, 1556, 1558, 1574. Ames says 1553; perhaps by mistake. The thre Bokes of Tullius Offyce, &c. translated, &c. by R. Whyttington, Poet Laureate, 12mo.

Tottell. Again, by Tho. Orwin, 1591. In the Itinerarium of W. de Worcestre, p. 368, is the following notice of this book: "1473, die 10 Augusti presentavi No date. De Senectute, by Whyttington, 8vo...... An Epistle or letter of exhortation, written in Latyne by Marcus Tullius Cicero, to his brother Quintus, the Proconsul or Deputy of Asia, wherein the office of a magistrate is cunningly and wisely described; translated into Englyshe by G.

Printed in Southwarke, 12mo. 1540 Webbe translated all the sixteen Books of Cicero's Epistles, but probably they were not printed together in Shakspeare's Life-time. I suppose this, from a Passage in his Dedication. In 1571 Drant published-Marcus Tullius Cicero for the Poet Archias. See Warton's Hist. of English Poetry, vol. iii. p. 431. BOETHIUS. Boethius, by Chaucer. Printed by Caxton, fol. W. episcepo Wyntoniensi apud Asher librum Tullii de Senectute per me translatum in Anglicis, sed nullum regardum recepi de Episcopo." *These are perhaps the same as the two foregoing translations. In the Stationers' books, Jan. 13th, 1608, Matthew Lownes entered "Anitius Manlius Torquatus Severinus Boethius, a Christian Consul of Rome, newly translated out of Latin, together with original Notes explaining the obscurest Places."

To be translated out of Latin into Englyshe and so printed." |
