Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Illustrations, Historical and Critical of the Life of Lorenzo De Medici, Called the Magnificent: With an Appendix of Original and Other Documents
Not long after the publication of my work, I received, through the obliging attention of the late earl of Bristol, bishop of Derry, then in Italy, a copy in manuscript of a professed crio' fique on the Life of Lorenzo, the production of a learned foreigner, who appeared to be well acquainted with the subject, and fully compoa tent, to judge of the various topics there dist cussed. Although this piece was sent me with out the name of the author, I did not long re; main in doubt on that head, another copy having been obligingly transmitted to me by Francis Drake, Esq., with the information that it was the production of the late Abate Andres, who, although he was a native of Spain, is well known by his proficiency in Italian literature, and par ticularly as the author of the extensive work.
