Of the Ethicks of Ariftotle fome more early translation muft have appeared; as Sir Tho. Elyot, in his Boke named the Governour, 1537, fays, they are to be learned in Greke; for the tranflations that we have, be but a rude and groffe fhadowe of the eloquence and wyfdome of Ariftotle."

5 This book was entered in the fame 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 tranflated
clafficks. It was a fraud of Guevara's, but not undetected; for
Chapman, in his Gentleman Usher, 1602, fpeaks 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 Epiftles, I am a very
afs." See his article in Bayle. Our countryman Elyott did
somewhat of the fame kind. He pretended to tranflate the
Actes and Sentences notable, of the Emperor Alexander Seve-
rus (from the Greek of Encolpius). See Fabricius' and Tanner's
Bibliothec. &c.
