_Peter Francius and De Wilde._--In a little work on my shelf, with the
following title,
"Petri Francii specimen eloquentiae exterioris ad orationem M. T.
Ciceronis pro A. Licin. Archia accommodatum. Amstelaedami, apud Henr.
Wetstenium M DC XCVII.],"
occurs the following brief MS. note, after the text of the speech for
Archias:
"Orationem hanc pro Archia sub Dno Petro Francio memoriter recitavi
Wilhelmus de Wilde in Athenaei auditorio Majore, a.d. xviii kal.

The volume is 12mo., containing about 200 pp.; the text of the speech
occupying nearly 42 pp.
