lication.)

27. The History of Britain, that part especially now
called England, from the first Traditional Beginning
continued to the Norman Conquest; collected out
of the ancientest and best Authors thereof. (This
work, though published in 1670, was written mostly
before the Restoration. The royal licenser expunged
several passages, which appeared in a pamphlet by
themselves in 1681, and were incorporated into an
edition of Milton's Prose Works published in 1738.

Fellowes of Oxford. Of the "Prolusiones," or
Academical Essays, seven in number, no complete
translation has been published. Professor Masson,
who has found them "full of biographical light,"
yet remarks: "I really have found no evidence that
as many as ten persons have read them through
before me." He has given a full account of these.
Essays, with copious extracts, in his Life of Milton,
Vol. I. pp. 204 – 230.)

34. Joannis Miltoni Angli de Doctrina Christiana ex sacris duntaxat Libris petitâ Disquisitionum Libri duo posthumia. The Christian Doctrine. (A Latin MS. bearing the above title was accidentally discovered in 1823 by Mr. Lemon in the State-Paper Office. It was edited and afterwards translated by Rev. Charles R. Sumner, Bishop of Winchester. The Christian Doctrine is generally supposed to have been written by Milton late in life; but a contrary view is ably maintained in an article of considerable length published in the Bibliotheca Sacra, Vol. XVI. p. 557, and Vol. XVII. p. 1.)

In addition to the works above mentioned, a few fragments have lately appeared. It is not likely that any important work of Milton remains now undiscovered.
