1780ⓘ Translated by Thomas Francklin, D.D. (<a href="http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/se.cgi?arg=Thomas%20Francklin&amp;type=Name&amp;mode=exact">Thomas Francklin</a>) First published 1780 in <i>The Works of Lucian, from the Greek</i> (2 vols), Vol. I, pp. 413-48 Unfinished by Lucian Preface and Books I-II of a greater number Francklin's footnote to the closing paragraph (1887, p149, quoted also <b>below</b>): * The ensuing books never appeared. The 'True History', like &nbsp; ————'the bear and fiddle, &nbsp; Begins, but breaks off in the middle.' D'Ablancourt, as I observed above, has carried it on a little farther. There is still room for any ingenious modern to take the plan from Lucian, and improve upon it. (end quote) In the Gutenberg ebook, the closing paragraph (quoted below) and footnote (above) appear as text and endnote, with "{149}" in place of "*". Viewed in HTML format all endnote numbers such as "{149}" are hyperlinks back and forth.
