David Wedderburnus, his various poems. Jacobus Macolonus, a Scotchman, whose Anthroporia Xeniorum is extant among the Selected works of other of the prime Latin poets accounted of that Nation. Joannes Metellanus, a Scotchman, whose Epigrams are published among the Selected poems of several others, esteemed the chief Latin versifiers of that nation. Joannes Rosa, one of those Latin poets accounted of the prime of Scotland, who are joined together in a published Collection of their several Selected Works. END OF PHILLIPS'S CHARACTERS. NOTES BY THE EDITOR. Of the Poets recorded by Phillips only six are included in Johnson's Lives of the English Poets: viz. Cowley, Milton, Denham, Waller, Sprat, and Dryden. It is strange, that Butler should have been omitted by Phillips : perhaps it arose from Butler's politics, so opposite to those of Milton the uncle of Phillips. There are some other omissions by Phillips, not quite pardonable :- especially Joseph Hall, afterwards Bishop of Norwich, who in his youth, at the close of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was the most eminent Satirist of that period. Here perhaps also the prejudices of Politics interfered. The following is a List of the principal names omitted by Phillips. STEPHEN HAWES. RICHARD STANYHURST. BLENERHASSET. RICHARD NICCOLS.
