"This is one of the most valuable works which Mr. Bogue has published in his European Library, not even excepting Guizot's History of the English Revolution.' What adds to the value of the work is, that it is almost sui generis: we know not where such a complete, and, in the main, just view of the authors and the literature of Europe, from the decline of Roman learning to its revival about the middle of the fifteenth century, can be found."-SPECTATOR.

The above are the only Editions of Roscoe's HISTORICAL WORKS in which the Latin, Italian, and Old French Notes are translated.

LIFE

OF

CARDINAL WOLSEY.

BY JOHN GALT.

Third Edition,

WITH ADDITIONAL ILLUSTRATIONS FROM CAVENDISH'S

LIFE OF WOLSEY, AND OTHER SOURCES.

LONDON:

DAVID BOGUE, FLEET STREET.

MDCCCXLVI.

"This cardinal,

Though from a humble stock, undoubtedly
Was fashioned to much honour from his cradle.
He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one:
Exceeding wise, fair-spoken, and persuading.
Lofty and sour, to them that loved him not,
But, to those men that sought him, sweet as summer.
And though he was unsatisfied in getting,

(Which was a sin,) yet in bestowing

He was most princely. Ever witness for him
Ipswich and Oxford! One of which fell with him,
Unwilling to outlive the good that did it;
The other, though unfinished, yet so famous,
So excellent in art, and yet so rising,
That Christendom shall ever speak his virtue.
His overthrow heap'd business upon him;
For then, and not till then, he felt himself,
And found the blessedness of being little :
And, to add greater honours to his age

Than man could give him, he died fearing God."

SHAKSPERE.
