The only Reafon I can imagine, why this Method has not been taken long before this, is the Difficulty of Trarflathig any thing in Latin literally, and at the fame Ti?ne tolerably into our Englifti Tongue. A Literal Trariflation, // was thought, would look ridicuUuiy dnd bring no great Credit to its Author ; and therefore no Body was willing to Jf-oop to ^ Piece of Drudgery, how ufeful and neceffary fcever, that was not likely to turn much to the Undertaker's Reputation. For we fee in the
