 | | It was for his wife's sister, Miss Stanhope Hutchinson, that he undertook the translation of Corneille's Horace (1671). |
 | | His masterpiece in translation, the Essays of M. de Montaigne (1685-1686, 1693, 1700, andc.), has often been reprinted, and still maintains its reputation; his other works include The Scarronides, or Virgil Travestie (1664-1670), a gross burlesque of the first and fourth books of the Aeneid, which ran through fifteen editions; Burlesque upon Burlesque,. |
 | | His translation of Montaigne was edited in 1892, and in a more elaborate form in 1902, by W. Hazlitt, who omitted or relegated to the notes the passages in which Cotton interpolates his own matter, and supplied his omissions. |
