Boetius' Consolations of Philosophy

By JARTZBERG.

Alfred the Great translated this work into Anglo-Saxon; Chaucer, Queen Elizabeth, and Lord Preston into English. *Has Queen Elizabeth's work* (which she executed during her captivity before she ascended the throne) *been printed?* Richard Viscount Preston's appeared first, I believe, in 1712, in 12mo. *How often has it been reprinted?* What other English translations have been made, and what are the latest?
