in recollecting the virtues of one of the Scipios after his death.  I wish it were with you, that you might read it; for if you thought it unproportionable for the place where it is, I could be willingly diverted to make it a piece by itself, and inlarge it into the whole size of his life; and that way it would be sooner communicated to the world.  And you know Tacitus published the life of Julius Agricola, before either of his annals or his history.  I am contented you should laugh at me for a fop in talking of Livy or Tacitus; when all I can hope for is to side Hollingshead, and Stow, or (because he is a poor Knight too, and worse than either of them) Sir Richard Baker’ (December 14, 1647, id. p. 386).
