No. 51. My reference is illegible: the words are,--"Men seem neither well
to understand their riches nor their strength: of the former they believe
greater things than they should; and of the latter, much less. And from
hence, certain fatal pillars have bounded the progress of learning."

and his editors for the _Antiquarian Library_, perhaps you will suffer me
to point out what appears to be an inaccuracy in the translation of Roger

_Southwell_[2] (or _Suthwell_, _Sudwell_, _Suwell_, or _
