_Ellis Walker._--Can any reader of "N. & Q." give any information as to
Ellis Walker, who made a _Poetical Paraphrase of the Enchiridion of
Epictetus_? He dedicates it to "his honoured uncle, Mr. Samuel Walker of
York," and speaks of having taken Epictetus for his companion when he
fled from the "present troubles in Ireland." My edition is printed in
London, 1716, but of what edition is not mentioned; but I presume the
work to have been of earlier date, probably in 1690-1, as indeed I find
it to have been, by inserted addresses to the author, of date in the
latter year. Any information as to the translator will oblige.
