This article presents information on the book "Étienne Dolet, the Martyr of the Renaissance," by Richard Copley Christie. It is informed that the name of Étienne Dolet is not very familiar at the present day even to scholars. He was one of those persons, very useful in the world, who fall just short of being great men, who exert no great and lasting influence upon the course of events, but who in their own generation are quite as useful as those whom the world remembers. His great work, the "Commentaries on the Latin Tongue," was an epoch in the history of scholarship; but this work once accomplished, his results have become the common property of the world, and his book is no longer consulted.
