The Lives of the ancient Philosophers from the best Authors (and for the most Part from Diogenes Laertius) with some modern ones from Eunapius, and Lives of modern Philosophers from Ægidius Menagius, 8vo Lond.

1702.

The History of Philosophy, containing the Lives, Opinions, Actions, and Discourses of the Philosophers of every Sect, by Thomas Stanley, Esq.

Though this is not a professed translation of Diogenes Laertius, yet as it comprehends all that is excellent in that author, and is an invaluable work on the same subject, I thought it proper to give it a place here. It was published thrice in fol. and lastly in 4to. Lond. 1743. "In which the innumerable mistakes, both in the text and notes of all former editions are corrected: the citations and references exactly adjusted and compared throughout with the originals, and with the Latin translation printed at Leipsic." To this edition is prefixed an account of the Life and writings of

the author. The folio editions are remarkable for several fine plates of the philosophers, and a beautiful head of the author. To the above work may be added,

The History of Philosophy from the earliest Times, to the beginning of the present Century, drawn up from Brucker's Historia critica Philosophiæ, by Wm. Enfield, LL. D. 4to. Lond. 1791, 2 vols. This is an elaborate and excel lent work, full of important information; but never can supersede the laborious compilation of Mr. Stanley.

Ε.

ENCOLPIUS, spurious.

The Image of Governance, compiled of the actes and sentences notable of the most noble Emperour Alexander Severus, late translated out of Greke into englishe, by Syr Thomas Eliot, knight, 4to. Lond. 1540, and 4to. 1544, and 1549; 8vo. 1556, and 1594. Eliot asserts in his preface that this work was written or composed by Encolpius, the Emperor's secretary: but Dr. Hody maintains that the whole is a fabrication of Eliot himself.

Stanhope, D. D. with the Life of Epictetus from Boileau, 8vo. Lond. 1694, 1700-04-21-41-50.

The Manual of Epictetus the Philosopher, translated from the original Greek, by Wm. Bond, 12mo. Lond. 1736.

All the works of Epictetus, which are now extant; consisting of his Discourses preserved by Arrian, in four Books: the Enchiridion, and Fragments, translated from the original Greek, by Elizabeth Carter: with an Introduction and Notes, by the Translator, 4to. Lond. 1758. Of this edition some copies were taken off on large paper. Second edition, 4to. ibid. 1759, 2 vols. Third edition, 12mo. ibid. 1768, 2 vols. The Introduction displays extensive learning, deep reflexion, sound judgment, and a most laudable zeal for the Christian religion :-the Translation strictly adheres to the sense of the original without losing the spirit; and the Notes shew no common skill in the Greek language. Perhaps even Madame D'Acier has never produced any thing of the kind superior to this production of Mrs. Carter. All the preceding translations by Sandford, Davies, Walker, Stanhope, and Bond, are only partial ones: The work of Mrs. C. is the only complete translation of all the works of Epictetus yet offered to the British public.

EPICURUS, B. C. 432.

Morals written by Epicurus; collected partly
