HERODOTUS,

A Greek Historian, of a rare and singular merit, who considering with himself which way he might become famous, he thought fit to present himself at the Olympick Games, where all the Greeks were assembled, and there he recited his Hi∣story with so much applause, that his Books were called by the name of Muses; and when he was passing by they cried out every where, There is the Man, who has so deservedly sung our Victories, and celebrated the Advantages that we have obtain'd over the Barbarians. His Wri∣tings were admired for the elegancy of the Discourse, the grace of the Sentences, and and the polite stile of the Ionick Dialect.
