Excerpt from Antitrinitarian Biography, or Sketches of the Lives and Writings of Distinguished Antitrinitarians, Vol. 1 of 3: Exhibiting a View of the State of the Unitarian Doctrine and Worship in the Principal Nations of Europe, From the Reformation to the Close of the Seventeenth Century; To Which Is Prefixed a History of Unitarianism in England During the Same Period The proper names of persons have usually been retained in their Latinized forms, partly because it is by these that the persons themselves are gene rally known to English readers; and partly because it was found impossible, in many cases, to give them under any other form, in which the identity of the individual could be recognized. It was long the custom of the literati of Europe to translate their names into Latin or Greek; and many of the most eminent literary men of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are now known to the world by such names only. It would be idle and pedan tic in any one to attempt, in the present day, to divest them of these classical designations. Who, for example, that is at all desirous of escaping the charge of literary affectation, would think of calling Erasmus by his original name, Gerard, or of giving to Melanchthon the name of Schwartzerde 9 In some cases the author of the present work has been guided solely by his ear, as to the retention or re jection of the Latin termination of a name; and when a preference has been given to the Latinized form, on account of its having the sanction of long usage in its favour, or from any other motive, the original name, with few exceptions, has been sub joined in a parenthesis.
