ECHARD

LAURENCE (_c._ 1670-1730).-Historian, _b._ at Barsham, Suffolk, and _ed._ at Camb., took orders and became Archdeacon of Stow. He translated Terence, part of Plautus, D'Orleans' _History of the Revolutions in England_, and made numerous compilations on history, geography, and the classics. His chief work, however, is his _History of England_ (1707-1720). It covers the period from the Roman occupation to his own times, and continued to be the standard work on the subject until it was superseded by translations of Rapin's French _History of England_.
