M. W. MacCallum, Shakespeare's Roman Plays and their Background, Preface, chapter 1 (search)
of my project, therefore, if not abandoned, has to be deferred; for it would mean a long delay, and I am admonished that what there is to do must be done quickly. I have complained of the lack of books in Australia, but before concluding I should like to acknowledge my obligations to the book-loving colonists of an earlier generation, to whose irrepressible zeal for learning their successors owe access to many volumes that one would hardly expect to see under the Southern Cross. Thus a 1599 edition of Plutarch in the University Library, embodying the apparatus of Xylander and Cruserius, has helped me much in the question of Amyot's relations to the Greek. Thus, too, I was able to utilise, among other works not easily met with, the first complete translation of Seneca's Tragedies (1581), in the collection of the late Mr. David Scott Mitchell, a clarum et venerabile nomen in New South Wales. May I, as a tribute of gratitude, inform my English readers that this gentleman, after

feliciter, me explicavisse unum et verius et mundius; hoc certe dicere queo liquide et recte, esse arbitratum me hoc effecisse（Epistola ad Lectorem, 1561, edition 1599). On the other hand Amiotus has been a help to him. When he had already polished and corrected his own version, he came across this very tasteful rendering hoc testimonium dabo: non posse fieri, ut quisquam hoc tempore Plutarchum tam vertat ornate lingua Latina quam vertit ille suâ（Epistola ad Lectorem, 1561, edition 1599). It is well then to bear in mind, when Amyot's competency is questioned, that by their own statement he cleared up things for specialists like Xylan hoc testimonium dabo: non posse fieri, ut quisquam hoc tempore Plutarchum tam vertat ornate lingua Latina quam vertit ille suâ（Epistola ad Lectorem, 1561, edition 1599). And this praise of Amyot's style leads us to the next point. If Amyot claims the thanks of Western Europe for giving it with adequate faithfulness a ty

ause for the reasons already given it cannot be held to have had much influence on Amyot, North and Shakespeare. It is of course impossible to reconstruct the Greek text that Amyot put together for himself. I have taken that of the edition of 1599, published half a dozen years after his death, as a fair approximation. The chief variations from the Latin are given in spaced type. In the extract from Amyot the chief variations from the Greek are printed in Italics; the few phrases or words i, Qualia mihi ait factitasti mater ; et jacentem sustulit: et pressa dextera inquit; Vicisti patriae quidem prosperam, nimis atque nimis perniciosam autemaut mihi victoriam. Abs te tantum superatus abscedam.

CLIVUS PULLIUS a street running south from the Subura across the western end of the Oppius to the Fagutal (Sol. i. 26; Varro, LL v. 158), passing the point now occupied by the church of S. Pietro in Vincoli. An inscription of the end of the fourth century (CIL vi. 31893; BC 1891, 354-355) was found here which mentioned the clivumpullenses, and until the end of the sixteenth century the line of the street was marked by the church of S. Giovanni in Carapullo or in clivo Plumbeo (HJ 257; BC 1907, 180; HCh 271).

It has been stated that he was the first of the Pilgrim party to step on Plymouth Rock, but other authorities give this honor to Mary Chilton. Alden settled in Duxbury, and in 1621 was married to Priscilla Mullins. For more than fifty years he was a magistrate in the colony, and outlived all the signers of the Mayflower compact. He died in Duxbury, Sept. 12, 1687. The circumstances of his courtship inspired Longfellow to write The courtship of miles Standish. They were as follows: The dreadful famine and fever which destroyed one-half of the Pilgrims at New Plymouth during the winter and spring of 1621 made a victim of Rose Standish, wife of Capt. Miles Standish. Her husband was then thirty-seven years of age. Not long after this event the

In 1645 he was created a baronet, and returned to his government of Jersey, where he received and sheltered the Prince of Wales (afterwards Charles II.) when the royal cause was ruined in England. Other refugees of distinction were there, and he defended the island gallantly against the forces of Cromwell. At the Restoration he rode with the King in his triumphant entry into London. Carteret became one of the privy council, vice-chamberlain, and treasurer of the navy. Being a personal friend of James, Duke of York, to whom Charles II. granted New Netherland, Carteret and Berkeley (another favorite) easily obtained a grant of territory

In early life he was in the cavalry of Brittany, and was with his uncle, pilot-general of the fleets of Spain, when that officer conducted back to that country the troops who had served in France. In 1599 he commanded a vessel of the Spanish fleet that sailed to Mexico, and he drew up a faithful account of the voyage. On his return he received a pension from Henry IV. of France; and he was induced by M. de Chastes, governor of Dieppe, to explore and prepare the way for a. French colony in America. Chastes had received a charter from the King to found settlements in New France, and the monarch commissioned Champlain lieutenant-general of Canada. With this authority, he sailed from Honfleur on March 5, 1603, with a single vessel, commanded by Pont-Greve, a skilful navigator. In Ma

Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Cromwell, Oliver 1599- (search)
Cromwell, Oliver 1599- Lord Protector of England; born in Huntingdon, April 25, 1599. His social position was thus described by himself: I was by birth a gentleman, neither living in any considerable height nor yet in obscurity. His family was connected with the St. Johns, Hampdens, and other English historical families. It is a curious fact that when he was five years of age he had a fight with Prince Charles, who, as king, was beheaded and succeeded by Cromwell as the ruler of England. He flogged the young prince, who was then with his family visiting Cromwell's uncle. As a boy he was much given to robbing orchards and playing unpleasant pranks. He lived a wild life at Sidney-Sussex College, Cambridge, whither he was sent in 1616. He left college after his father's death next year, and in 1620 married a daughter of Sir James Bourchier, when his manner of life changed, and he became an earnest Christian worker for good, praying, preaching, and exhorting among the Puritans
