friendship between the two men forms an interesting and characteristic episode in the long history of the relations of publishers and authors. The later productions from the pen of Erasmus may be briefly noted: A treatise on the Confessional, which appeared in 1524, and which, with characteristic boldness, contains a scathing exposure of the evils of the institution; an exposition of the Lord’s Prayer, printed at about the same date; a series of devotional addresses and brief commentaries, in 1524 and 1525; a treatise on the use and abuse of the tongue, in 1525; the _Institution of Christian Matrimony_, in 1526; the _Christian Widow_, in 1527, written in compliment to Maria, sister of Charles V., whose husband, the King of Bohemia, had been killed shortly before; an edition of _Irenæus_, in 1526 (_Irenæus_ had not before been printed, and the work of Erasmus had, therefore, to be done from manuscripts); an edition of _Ambrose_, in four volumes, in 1527; an essay on the correct pronunciation of Latin and Greek, in 1528; an edition of _Seneca_ (of whom he speaks as a pagan saint), in 1529; the concluding volumes of the great _S. Augustine_, in the same year; the works of S. Chrysostom, in 1530 (this contains a Latin translation and a memoir); the _Apopthegms of the Ancients_, in eight books, in 1531; the works of S. Basil, in 1532; and, finally, _Ecclesiastes_, a treatise on the preacher, in 1534. This was the last book completed by the busy scholar, but his correspondence continued active until his death, which occurred in July, 1536. A number of the larger works mentioned in the above brief summary, such as the _S. Augustine_ and the _S. Chrysostom_, were prepared for the press with the co-operation of others, but even these represented very considerable labour on the part of the responsible editor, and it is not easy to understand how, dyspeptic invalid that he was, he was able to find the time and the strength for such continuous and such arduous labour. Nearly all of the books of the last nine years were printed in the Froben Press, which was being successfully carried on by Jerome Froben, the eldest son of its founder, with the aid of his friend Boniface Amerbach. Erasmus had, in 1529, on the ground of the increasing bitterness of the Protestant feeling in Basel, given up with no little regret his home in that city, and had removed to Friburg. His intercourse with the Frobens continued unbroken, however, and Jerome Froben was with him at the time of his death.
