Few persons having a common object in view, and equally desirous of its attainment, fail in carrying it into effect. The object of "The Caxton Memorial" is obviously to do honour to the first English printer; and if a man's best monument be his own works, it will be necessary to ascertain of what they consist. It is well known that most of the works printed by Caxton were translated from the French, many doubtless by himself. The Prefaces were evidently his own, and the continuation of the _Polychronicon_ was confessedly written by himself. The most valuable contribution to "The Caxton Coffer" would be a list of the works which it is proposed to publish as those of Caxton, with some calculation of their probable extent and cost of production. The originals being in many cases of extreme rarity, it would be necessary to transcribe fairly each work, and to collate it with the original in its progress through the press. The following enumeration of the Translations alone will give some idea of the work to be undertaken: _The Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye._ (1471.) _The Game and playe of the Chesse._ 1474. _Thymage, or Myrrour of the World._ (1481.) _The Historye of Reynart the foxe._ 1481. _The laste siege and conqueste of Jherusalem._ 1481. _The Golden Legende._ 1483. _The Book called Cathon._ 1483. _The Book of the techynge of the Knyght of the Toure._ (1484.) _The Fables of Esope, Avian, Alfonce, and Poge._ 1484. _The Booke of the ordre of Chyvalry or knyghthode._ (1484.) _The Lyf of Prince Charles the Grete._ 1485. _The Ryal Book, or Book for a kyng._ 1485. _Thystorye of the noble knyght Parys_. (1485.) _The Doctrinal of Sapience._ 1489. _The Book of fayttee of armes and of Chyvalrye._ 1489. _A lityl treatise of the arte to knowe well to dye._ 1490. _The Boke of Eneydos compyled by Vyrgyle._ 1490. _The Curial of Maystre Alain Charretier._ n. d. _The Lyf of the holy Vyrgyn Saynt Wenefryde._ n. d.; and, lastly, _The Vitas Patrum_, which was translated by Caxton in 1486, but printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1495.
