"Dr. Askew would never permit this book to be touched by his friends. He told me that Bentley was suspected of having obtained some metrical information from Micyllus, and one day, standing on a ladder, he read to me some parts, with which I was very much struck. After the death of Dr. Askew, I was determined to possess the book, and I gave Messrs. Leigh and Baker, of York-street, Covent-garden, an unlimited commission to secure it for me. I paid a considerable price for it, but I would not part with it for ten times that price. The work of Micyllus was republished, by him, in a much larger form. I never saw this larger work but once, and that was in the Bodleian Library, where the value of it was evidently unknown. I mentioned it to Mr. Gaisford, who seemed not to have heard of it before, and I earnestly, but ineffectually, recommended its republication to three Delegates of the Clarendon-Press." S. P.

From being misled by the Manuscript, the work of Micyllus has already been inserted separately at page 252, but Dr. Parr had only the copy contained in the above volume, and even that is, for the present, missing. ED.
