(ed. Bliss), i. p.676. [5] Euphues, p.268. [6] Bond, i. p.6. But Baker, pp.vii, viii, would seem to disagree with this. [7] Bond, i. p.11. [8] Baker, p.xii. [9] Athenae Oxonienses (ed. Bliss), i. p.676. [10] Mr Baker however seems to think that his reference to Cambridge (Euphues, p.436) implies a term of residence there. Baker, p.xxii. [11] Bond, i. p.38. [12] I have to thank Dr Ward for pointing out to me the interesting fact that a large proportion of Elizabeth's M.P.'s were royal officials. [13] A discourse of English Poetrie, Arber's reprint. [14] Child, pp.6–20, for an account of chief writers who have dealt with euphuism. [15] John Lyly and Euphuism. C.G. Child. [16] On Euphuism, Phil. Soc. Trans., 1870–2. [17] Child, p.43.

[31] id., p.268 note. Mr Underhill writes: "The attempt to connect the style of Sidney with that of Montemayor has failed." [32] Underhill, p.48, but see Martin Hume, ch.ix. [33] Some doubt has been thrown upon Mendoza's authorship. See Fitzmaurice-Kelly, p.158, and Martin Hume, p.133. [34] Martin Hume, p.126. [35] Bond, i. p.67. [36] Underhill, p.178, to whom I am indebted for nearly all the preceding remarks in connexion with the Spanish atmosphere at Oxford. [37] Arber's reprint, School of Abuse, p.97. [38] Craik, vol.i. [39] Underhill, ch.viii. § 2. [40] Huon of Bordeaux, appendix i., Lord Berners and Euphuism, p.786. [41] Bond, i. p.158. [42] See AthenÆum, July 14, 1883. [43] Dict. of Nat. Biog., Bryan. [44] The 2nd edition of this book, which was published under another title, is thus described in the B.M. Cat.: "A looking-glass for the court … out of Castilian drawne into French by A.Alaygre; and out of the French into English by SirF.Briant." [45] Huon, p.787. [46] Froissart, Globe edition, p.xxviii. [47] Huon, p.788. [48] After writing the above I have noticed that Mr G.C. Macaulay, in the Introduction to the Globe Froissart, writes as follows (p.xvi): "If nothing else could be adduced to show that the tendency (i.e. euphuism) existed already in English literature, the prefaces to Lord Berners' Froissart written before he could possibly have read Guevara, would be enough to prove it." [49] There are two extant editions of 1529, (i) published at Valladolid, from which the words above are quoted, (ii) published at Enueres, which appears to be an earlier edition. Copies of both in the British Museum. [50] Hallam, Lit. of Europe, ed.1855, vol.i. p.403n. Brunet in his Manuel de Libraire gives Hallam's view without comment, tome ii. "Guevara."

[80] This touches upon the famous dispute between Dr Schwan and Dr Goodlet which is excellently dealt with by Mr Child, p.77. [81] Raleigh, p.47. [82] Euphues, p.220. [83] Child, p.41. [84] Bond, i. p.146. [85] H.Spencer, Essays, ii. Phil. of Style. [86] Schoolmaster, p.80. [87] Bond, i. pp.154–156. [88] Bond, i. pp.156–159. [89] Bond, i. p.10. [90] Schoolmaster, p.47. [91] Euphues, p.220. [92] Jusserand, p.5. [93] Mr Bond thinks it a picture of Lyly's father. [94] Bond, i. p.161. [95] It was Sidney and Nash who set the fashion for the 17th century. [96] Raleigh, p.57. He writes Arcadia for Euphues but the substitution is legitimate. [97] Baker, p.lxxxviii, places Endymion as early as Sept. 1579. Bond, vol.iii. p.10, attempts to disprove Baker's contention, and in vol.ii. p.309, he maintains chiefly on grounds of style that Campaspe was the earliest of Lyly's plays, being produced at the Christmas of 1580.

[105] Gayley, p.xiv. [106] I put this interpretation upon the account of Heywood's receiving 40 shillings from Queen Mary "for pleying an interlude with his children." [107] Ward, Dict. of Nat.
