II. BARCLAY.
[At the end of P. A. Becker's article (see below, iv) is a general biblio-
graphy of Barclay's works, translations of his works, and productions that
have been attributed to him on dubious grounds. See, also, pp. 34 and 114,
115 of the same essay. Dukas (see below, iv) supplies a bibliography of
Euphormio; Collignon, one of Icon Animorum in his Le Portrait des Esprits
de Jean Barclay, and one of Argenis in his Notes sur l'Argenis. The fullest
and best bibliography of the last work is to be found in John Barclays
Argenis, by Schmid, K. F. The following select list is necessarily based
in great part on these authorities. ]
