Book Description

Excerpt from The Whole Works of Roger Ascham, Vol. 2: Now First Collected and Revised, With a Life of the Author In this second volume of Ascham's works are contained the rest of his Letters, written between the years 1559 and 1568, (whilst Elizabeth was queen), and the Toxophilus. As a full account of the Letters has been given in Vol. I, it is unnecessary to speak about them here; and of the Toxophilus a few words only are needful. The first edition of the work was printed in quarto, London, 1545. It was reprinted 1571, and a third London edition in 1589. An octavo edition appeared at Wrexham in 1588: and the work is found in all the editions of the English Works.
