Note 349 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
Amongst the State Papers, is a Letter from Thorndike to Mr. Joseph Wilkinson, April 21st, 1656, respecting Walton's Polyglott. "You know," he says, "the government of the work is in Dr. Walton, who set it on foot. Correctors of the press he hath, for the Hebrew and Chaldee, Mr. Clarke; for the Syriac and Arabic, Mr. Castle; with a third for the Greek and Latin. The purpose is to give what England affords for the verifying of the several copies."
