paft had been the obje£l of de

Ifofe from the great lcarn : ng and varloog
reading difpliycd by certain federal Cc-
Btiofa. Some lime ago Mr, Cocke in
thedenate of the United Stages, men
rionfd it.at Caligula according to Dk
Coffins wrote hia lava in very fmail cha
radtera, and hang them up upon high
pillars, the more effectually to enfnare
the people, upon which the preat gene
ra! Dayton fpokc thoi—“ Dio Caffiue,
1 never heard of Dio Cafiiui He m*y
be fomeof the Indian triDa,” and Mr,
Tracy fuppofed Dio Caflius was of the
Cherokee or Cboftaw nation. M The
gentleman from Kentucky, faid Mr.
Livermore, haa quoted Dio Cafliua, an
author we have never heard of before.”
Mr Jl/arfhall of Kentucky, refe and
declared that he had nor mentioned
Z)\o Cafliua, “ I meant the gent’eraan
from 1 eQnc^^ee, ,, anfwcred Livermore,
“ I fee the gentleman from Kentucky
would be alhamed of fuch a blunder-”
Mr. C joke declared, that the paflage
be had quoted waa from Biackflone
(which the reader may find i Com.

the book next rowroing to fhew them
he waacorrcft ; next morning he pro
duced the book, and Tracy beheld with
adooifhment that the nirae vrts really
fpeii D o Cafliua, exaftly as it had been
pronounced by Mr. Cocke, by
Air, Dayton and Air, Livermore. He
examined the book attentively as if to
dcte& any fraud or trick Air. Cocke
might attempt to impofe upon him ;
but unfortunately there w«a no fraud,
no trick, no impnfltion in the cafe—-It
waa fairly Dio Cafliua, and nothing elfe
could be made of it. At that moment,
the f A . erminator in the bitternefa of hia
heart, raoft fincerely wilhed, that no fuch
r.uihor hid exifted as Dio Cufijoa.
Layton and Tracy had a confultation,
and looking Into Bayle, they found D o
Cafflus waa a Grecian hiflorisn, who
flourifhed in the time of Alexander Se
verua. He wrote ihe biftory of ivomc
in eighty hooka, twenty-fix of which
are dill extant. He waa not an antidi
