• 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 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.
