s. V. Varillas. I. Disraeli, Curiosities. % A. Daiidet, Vlmmortel. 26 6o B. c* In 1663 a genuine fragment of Petronius wa found at Trau in Dalmatia ; this was speedily followed by a forged one published by Nodot in 1694 as the discovery of an officer at Belgrade. A third was fabricated in 1800 by Marchena, who pretended to have come upon an unknown manuscript at Saint-Gall. The Eikon Basilike, like the Casket Letters, is memorable for its intimate association with one of the tragedies of his- t...ory. The examination of the printer, Royston, before the Council of State, shows that it was originally intended to issue it, under the title of Suspiria Regalia, or The King's Plea, during the trial of Charles I, in the hope of influencing public opinion in his favour. It must have been carefully designed to this end. The body of the book consists in a retrospect, apparently by the king's own hand, of the events since the calling of his last Parliament. It deals in a spirit half of vindication, half of apology, with the more dubious parts of his policy, such as the sacrifice of Strafford.
