probably been prepared some years before its publication.) (This 1670.-27. The History of Britain, that part especially now called England, from the first Traditional Beginning continued to the Norman Conquest; collected out of the ancientest and best Authors thereof. work, though published in 1670, was written mostly before the Restoration. The royal licenser expunged several passages, which appeared in a pamphlet by themselves in 1681, and were incorporated into an edition of Milton's Prose Works published in 1738. See a brief notice of this in D'Israeli's Curiosities of Literature, Vol. II., p. 408, and Vol. III., p. 206.) 1672.-28. Artis Logica Plenior Institutio ad Petri Rami Methodum concinnata. System of Logic after Peter Ramus. (Not translated. This too had been in manuscript many years before publication.) 1673. -29. Of True Religion, Heresy, Schism, Toleration; and what best Means may be used against the Growth of Popery. 1674.-30. Epistolarum Familiarum Liber Unus; quibus accesserunt Prolusiones quædam Oratoriæ in Collegio Christi habitæ. (The Familiar Letters, extending from 1625 to 1666, have been translated by Mr. Fellowes of Oxford. Of the "Prolusiones," or Academical Essays, seven in number, no complete translation has been published. Professor Masson, who has found them "full of biographical light," yet remarks: "I really have found no evidence that as many as ten persons have read them through before me." He has given a full account of these Essays, with copious extracts, in his Life of Milton, Vol. I. pp. 204–230.) 31. A Declaration, or Letters-Patent, for the Election of this present King of Poland, John the Third, elected on the 22nd of May last past, A. D. 1674. Containing the Reasons of this Election, the great Virtues and Merits of the said serene Elect, his eminent Services in War, especially in his last great Victory against the Turks and Tartars, whereof many particulars are here related, not published before. Now faithfully translated from the Latin copy. 1676.32. Literæ Senatus Anglicani; necnon Cromwellii. The Letters of State. These were published in the original in 1676, then translated into English, and published in 1694. 1682. 33. A brief History of Moscovia and of other bestknown Countries lying eastward of Russia as far as Cathay; gathered from the Writings of several Eyewitnesses. 1823. 34. Joannis Miltoni Angli de Doctrina Christiana ex sacris duntaxat Libris petitâ Disquisitionum Libri duo posthumia. The Christian Doctrine. (A Latin MS. bearing the above title was accidentally discovered in 1823 by Mr. Lemon in the State-Paper Office. It was edited and afterwards translated by Rev. Charles R. Sumner, Bishop of Winchester. The Christian Doctrine is generally supposed to have been written by Milton late in life; but a contrary view is ably maintained in an article of considerable length published in the Bibliotheca Sacra, Vol. XVI. p. 557, and Vol. XVII. p. 1.) In addition to the works above mentioned, a few fragments have lately appeared. It is not likely that any important work of Milton remains now undiscovered. INDEX. Abraham, 29.
