[1] A modern writer observes, that "Valeriano is chiefly known to
the present times by his brief but curious and interesting
work, _De Literatorum Infelicitate_, which has preserved many
anecdotes of the principal scholars of the age, not elsewhere
to be found."--ROSCOE'S _Leo X._ vol. iv. p. 175.
[2] There is also a bulky collection of this kind, entitled,
_Analecta de Calamitate Literatorum_, edited by Mencken, the
author of _Charlataneria Eruditorum_.
[3] From the Grecian _Psyche_, or the soul, the Germans have
borrowed this expressive term. They have a _Psychological
Magazine_. Some of our own recent authors have adopted the
term peculiarly adapted to the historian of the human mind.
