ARUNDEL (Thomas), earl of Arundel and Surrey, lord marshal of England, who sent William Petty into Asia, to search for some curious monuments of antiquity, where he bought those which we call the Arundel marbles, of a Turk, who had taken them from a learned man sent by the famous Piereq into Greece and Asia upon the same design. These curious marbles were placed in the earl's house and gardens, upon the banks of the Thames, and afterwards entrusted to the care of the university of Oxford, where they now are. This chronology, engraved 264 years before the Christian era, serves to rectify the dates of a great many events of the ancient history of Greece. The great Selden wrote a book of their contents, 1629. They have since been published by Dr Prideaux, 1676, at Oxford; and again, at London, 1732, with commentaries, and an index, by Maittaire. The reader will meet with a correct Latin and English translation of these marbles, in The Chronological tables of universal history, by the learned abbe Lenglet Dufrenoy, lately translated into English.
