Note 1 — Queries.

Reading edition

Footnote 1:

(return)

In The English Works of Roger Ascham, London, 1815, 8vo.: this edition is reprinted from Bennet's, with additions. Bennet took these letters from Baker's extracts (in his MSS. xiii. 275-295., now in the Harleian Collection), "from originals in Mr. Strype's hands." One letter is more fully given by Mr. Tytler, England under Edward VI. and Mary, vol. ii. p. 124.

Footnote 2:

(return)

In Sir H. Ellis's Letters of Eminent Literary Men, Camden Soc. Nos. 4 and 5. Correcter copies than had before appeared from the Lansdowne MSS.

Footnote 3:

(return)

Most incorrectly printed in Whitaker's History of Richmondshire, vol. i. p. 270. seq. The letters themselves are highly important and curious.

Footnote 4:

(return)

Dd. ix. 14. Some of the letters are transcribed by Baker, MSS. xxxii. p. 520. seq.

Footnote 5:

(return)

This letter has many sentences in common with that to Gardiner, of the date Jan. 18 [1554], printed by Whitaker (p. 271. seq.)

Footnote 6:

(return)

Whitaker, who prints this (p. 289. seq.) says that it had been printed before. Where?

Footnote 7:

(return)

This, I believe, unpublished letter is referred to by Osorius, in a letter to Ascham (Aschami Epistolæ, p. 397.: Oxon. 1703).

Footnote 8:

(return)

Both of these have been printed, the letter in Aschami Epistolæ, lib. i. ep. 4. p. 68. seq. Compare on the commentary, ibid. pp. 70. and 209.
