Cambridge, has presented to the author the following 
elegant and most accurate version of this interest- 
ing fragment. Those who may choose to consult 
the original, will find it inserted in the Bibliotheca 
of Fabricius\ The account it gives of the mis- 
chiefs done by Baldwyns army is so particularly 
suited to what the author has already said upon 
the subject, and withal so exceedingly curious in 
itself, that he is convinced every reader of this 
work will be gratified by seeing it, divested of the 
obscurities and incongruous metaphors of the 
Byzantine historian.

who published at Aagsburgh, in the year 1557, a 
Latin translation of JSlicetass History, together with 
the Greek text, has given a very just account of 
his style. I will quote his words : — ' Ex affecta- 
tione nescio cujus insolentis elegantice et potticce

at Hamburgh in 1801 ; but the Reader will find it in the edition cited by 
Mr. Harris; or in that of Hamburgh, 1714. Vol. VI. chap. 5. p. 405.
