Authority Cited: Croxal
Author name and dates: Samuel Croxal (1690-1752)
BKG Bio-tweet: Cleric; anonymous Whig political pamphleteer and poetic satirist; trans. of parts of Ovid; Aesop’s Fables popular
Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: one Croxall cite in 1755 Dict. vol. 1. No additional Croxall cites were identified in the 1773 Dict. I suspect that the Croxall quote below refers to either Chaucer or Spenser, but I have not found a text that contains the quote.]
