HOLLAND'S " SUETONIUS.'

(TO THII EDITOR OP THE "SpEarATop..1 SIR,—In connection with the interesting review of Philemon Holland's quaint but really genuine translation of " Suetonius," edited by Mr. C. Whibley, I remember an amusing epigram remarking upon the several classical translations that Holland was continually publishing ;— " How with translations Holland still doth fill us, He won't let e'en Snetonius be Tranquillus."
