Note on the variations of Colwell's and Veale's editions of Rhodes's Boke of Nurture. The small differences are so many from the 1577 edition, that the giving of them all would cost too much money and take up too much space for the very small advantage to be gained from them. If we ever print Petit's edition, then the collations of Colwell's and Veale's editions can be easily given with it, as that is the edition from which they were probably altered, and the changes are more within compass, though the words are often different. Of the more important alterations I give here a few by way of specimen. Others have been given in the last pages of the Preface to Rhodes, above. Petit. Also to appose your seruauntes yf they can theyr byleue also yf they bryng anye thynge home that is mysse taken, or tell tales, or newes of detraccyon, ye shall then sharplye reproue them yf they wyll not lerne, auoyde them out of your house. For it is great quyetnes to haue people of good fassyon in your house. Nor apparell not your chyldren or seruauntes that are of lefull dyscrecyon in sumptuous apparell, for it encreaseth pryde and obstinacy & many other euyles oftymes. Colwell. Also apose your seruantes of theyr beleife, and also yf they brynge anye thynge home that is misse taken, or tell tales or newes of detraction, ye shall then reproue them sharpely, if they will not learne, auoid them out of your house for it is great quietnes to haue people of good facion in a house. Apparell not your children or seruauntes that are of lawful discretion in sumtuous apparel: for it encreaseth pride and obstinacie, and many other euils oft times. Few wordes in a seruant / sheweth in hi good comendaciōs (Petit, sign. B. iii.) Few wordes in a seruaunt, deserueth commendacions (Colwell, sign. B. iii.) If thou wyll take no payne in youth / & wyll be called wyse Take paine in youth if thou uilt be called wise (Petit, sign. C. i.) Kepe measure in wealth, a tyme is to the lent.- (Colwell, sign. C. i.) Or thou must take it in age and be ful of vice Keep measure in welth, a time is to thee lent.-(Veale, B. iii.) An yreful body is neuer quyet, nor in rest where he doth dwel There is neuer quiet, where angry folke dwell, (Petit, sign. C. i.) Ten is nyne to many, theyr malyce is so cruell.—(Colwell, sign. C. i.) Ten, is nyne to manie, their malice is so cruel.-(Veale, C. i.) Neither Colwell's nor Veale's edition contains The Rule of Honest Living.

The regular Cathedral school would have existed at St David's. p. xix., note. "There are no French universities, though we find every now and then some humbug advertising himself in the Times as possessing a degree of the Paris University. The old Universities belong to the time before the Deluge-that means before the Revolution of 1789. The University of France is the organized whole of the higher and middle institutions of learning, in so far as they are directed by the State, not the clergy. It is an institution more governmental, according to the genius of the country, than our London University, to which, however, its organization bears some resemblance. To speak of it in one breath with Oxford or Aberdeen is to commit the .error of confounding two things, or placing them on the same line, because they have the same name."-E.

One of the inquiries ordered by the Articles issued by Archbishop Cranmer, in A.D. 1548, is, "Whether Parsons, Vicars, Clerks and other beneficed men, having yearly to dispend an hundred pound, do not find, competently, one scholar in the University of Cambridge or Oxford, or some grammar school; and for as many hundred pounds as every of them may dispend, so many scholars likewise to be found [supported] by them; and what be their names that they so find."

The truth is that, in his account of Oxford and its early days, Mr Hallam quotes John of Salisbury, not as asserting that Vacarius taught there, but as making “no mention of Oxford at all"; while he gives for the statement about the law school no authority whatever beyond his general reference throughout to Anthony Wood. But the fact is as historical as a fact can well be, and the authority for it is a passage in one of the best of the contemporary authors, Gervaise of Canterbury. "Tunc leges et causidici in Angliam primo vocati sunt," he says in his account of Theobald in the Acts of the Archbishops, quorum primus erat magister Vacarius. Hic in Oxonefordiâ legem docuit."' ́E.

Hazlitt writes, Oct. 18th, 1867, "I dare say it will set your mouth watering when I tell you that I have discovered a very much earlier edition of Rhodes. It was printed about 15 years before Petit's-about 1530, that is. At present I can tell you no more, except that the colophon is: Imprynted at Loudon in Southwarke by me Johan Redman. It is a 4to. of 12 leaves." Lord Ashburnham writes to say that he has a copy of East's edition of 1568. A transcript of its Title-page has lately turned up in a collection, and Mr W. C. Hazlitt has been good enough to send me an advance-proof of this Title as entered in his Handbook, as follows: "The Book of Nurture for men seruantes and children (with stans puer ad mensam). Hereunto is annexed our Lords Prayer, our Beliefe, and the .x. Commandments. with godly Graces, to be sayde at the Table, before and after meat. Very vtile and necessary for all youth to learne. Imprinted at London in Breadstreet at the nether ende, by Thomas East, 1568. Oblong 4to, 22 leaves. With a woodcut on the title, representing a master with his pupils. Bright, in 1845, £16 16s.
