By consecutive negations and delibei'ate dribbling he keeps the interest tense until the final clause, which forms an appro- priate and, as it were, unexpected climax.
Another translator, whose na...me has been preserved, but some of whose chief works appear to have perished, was JOHN OF TREVISA. 53 John of Trevisa, Vicar of Berkeley in Gloucestershire, and chajilain to Thomas, Lord Berkeley, for Jolin of Trevisa, i t -, t-i t i * • C 1387) whom, he produced an Jiiuglish version of Higden's Polychronicon. In dealing with works of this nature one is tempted to consider them purely as specimens of prose, and to ignore their worth or unworth as translations.
