- "Amiot, Abbe of Bellozane, published a French translation of Plutarch's Lives in 1558; from that work it was translated into English by John Dryden in 1727 ... we have endeavored to make Plutarch's book a general history of the periods under his pen; where we have differed from the former translators, we have assigned reasons. The necessary Chronological Tables, together with Tables of Money, Weights and Measures, and a copious Index, have been provided for this translation."--Pref.
