Note BH — THE 'LIVES' (continued 2)

This is a marginal note opposite the life of Katherine Philips, and is intended to be a parallel instance of precocious reading, the boy being taken, first, through the Psalter, and then through the Bible, before beginning his 'accidence' (i.e. Latin Grammar): cp. the course of Anthony Wood's education, Clark's Wood's Life and Times, i. 46, 47, 48. Henry Brome was a London bookseller.
