The Teaching and Cultivation of the French Language in England during Tudor and Stuart Times

Note 473 — Chapter V

Reading edition

A long list may be compiled from the Registers of the Stationers' Company. J. Wolfe and R. Field, both printers of French grammars, received many licences to print books in French and English. See also Upham, French Influence in English Literature, New York, 1908 (Appendix I., pp. 471-505). Many of these works are on religious topics; others belong to no particular category, in the style of Bellot's Jardin de Vertu; many on topical subjects, such as news-letters and pamphlets on the French wars, were printed in French more to appeal to a larger public than to give instruction in the language.
