POLYBIUS. Hystories of the most famous and worthy Cronographer,

-- 89 --

Polybius, by Christopher Watson, 8vo. 1568

This Work consists of extracts only. Other editions of this are in 1534, 1535, 2536, 1537, 1559. 1586, 1588. This Translation is in rhime of fourteen syllables. This is translated into English Hexameters, and printed at the end of the Countesse of Pembroke's Ivychurch 1591. By Abraham Fraunce. Another in 1575 according to Ames, and another earlier than either, in 1567, if we may believe the Date of the Dedication. [A former Edition was in 1572, in Rawlinson's catel.] Ames says 1553; perhaps by mistake. Webbe translated all the sixteen Books of Cicero's Epistles, but probably they were not printed together in Shakespeare's Lifetime. I suppose this, from a Passage in his Dedication, in which he seems to mean Bacon, by a Great Lord Chancellor. Ames mentions a Discourse of Human Nature, translated from Hippocrates, p. 428; an Extract from Pliny, translated from the French, p. 312; Æsop† ^note

, &c. by Caxton and others; and there is no doubt, but many Translations at present unknown, may be gradually recovered, either by Industry or Accident.
