ERASMUS AS A NATURALIST.
By G.W. Murdoch, Naturalist Editor of the 'Yorkshire
Weekly Post,' &c.
This article on Erasmus as a naturalist is based on the following works:—
- 'In Praise of Folly,' Reeves and Turner's edition, 1876.
'The Colloquies,' Bailey's Translation, 1725.
'Enchiridion Militis Christiani' (1515).
Nisard's 'Etudes sur la Renaissance' (1855).
Seebohm's 'Oxford Reformers' (1869).
'Life and Letters of Erasmus' (Longmans & Co.), for the loan of a copy of which I have to thank a distinguished brother naturalist.
By Sir Thomas More: 'Utopia' (English version, 1556). 'History of King Richard III.' (1513).
'Life of Sir Thomas More,' by his Son-in-law, William Roper (Singer's rare edition, 1817).
Stapleton's 'Tres Thomæ' (Douai, 1588), and 'The Life and Writings of Sir Thomas More,' by the Rev. T.E. Bridget, S.J., (London: Burns & Oates, 1891).
It will be observed that I have included several of Sir Thomas More's works, and I should have liked to have dealt with these illustrious authors jointly, for it is nearly impossible to separate them in their lives and works, as true naturalists, as unrivalled scholars, humanists, satirists, reformers of gross abuses, and
