1 Mr. Conybeare's edition does not seem to contain any bibliography, although such a provision is one of the aims of the Loeb Classics, of which this work forms two volumes: however, his first volume contains as frontispiece a handsome reproduction of a bust from the Capitoline Museum at Rome which is (doubt-fully) supposed to be of Apollonius. Even in Professor Phillimore's book, where the bibliography is not unsatisfactory, there might have been some further mention of Charles Blount's translation and long notes on the first two books: it was said that ‘this piece was published with the design to invalidate the testimony of the Evangelists concerning the miracles of our blessed Lord. A few copies only were dispersed before the work was suppressed.’
