Elyot's translations include:--_The Doctrinal of Princes_ (1534), from Isocrates; _Cyprianus, A Swete and Devoute Sermon of Holy Saynt Ciprian of the Mortalitie of Man_ (1534); _Rules of a Christian Life_ (1534), from Pico della Mirandola; _The Education or Bringing up of Children_ (c. 1535), from Plutarch; and _Howe one may take Profite of his Enymes_ (1535), from the same author is generally attributed to him. He also wrote: _The Knowledge which maketh a Wise Man_ and _Pasquyll the Playne_ (1533); _The Bankette of Sapience_ (1534), a collection of moral sayings; _Preservative agaynste Deth_ (1545), which contains many quotations from the Fathers; _Defence of Good Women_ (1545). His _Image of Governance, compiled of the Actes and Sentences notable of the most noble Emperor Alexander Severus_ (1540) professed to be a translation from a Greek MS. of the emperor's secretary Encolpius (or Eucolpius, as Elyot calls him), which had been lent him by a gentleman of Naples, called Pudericus, who asked to have it back before the translation was complete. In these circumstances Elyot, as he asserts in his preface, supplied the other maxims from different sources. He was violently assailed by Humphrey Hody and later by William Wotton for putting forward a pseudo-translation; but Mr H.H.S. Croft has discovered that there was a Neapolitan gentleman at that time bearing the name of Poderico, or, Latinized, Pudericus, with whom Elyot may well have been acquainted. Roger Ascham mentions his _De rebus memorabilibus Angliae_; and Webbe quotes a few lines of a lost translation of the _Ars poëtica_ of Horace. A learned edition of the _Governour_ (2 vols., 1880), by H.H.S. Croft, contains, besides copious notes, a valuable glossary of 16th century English words. ELYRIA, a city and the county-seat of Lorain county, Ohio, U.S.A., on the Black river, 8 m. from Lake Erie, and about 25 m. W.S.W. of Cleveland. Pop. (1890) 5611; (1900) 8791, of whom 1397 were foreign-born; (1910 census) 14,825. It is served by the Baltimore & Ohio, and the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railways. Elyria is about 720 ft. above sea-level, and lies at the junction of the two forks of the Black river, each of which falls about 50 ft. here, furnishing water-power. Among the city's manufactures are oxide of tin and other chemicals, iron and steel, leather goods, automobiles and bicycles, electrical and telephone supplies, butted tubing, gas engines, screws and bolts, silk, lace and hosiery. In 1905 the city's factory products were valued at $2,933,450--140.2% more than their value in 1900. Flagging, building-stones and grindstones, taken from quarries in the vicinity (known as the Berea Grit quarries), are shipped from Elyria in large quantities. Elyria was founded about 1819 by Heman Ely, in whose honour it was named; it was selected as the site for the county seat in 1823, and was chartered as a city in 1892.
