TREATISES AND DISSERTATIONS AKIN TO THE Essay.
(The development of the Baconian essay was retarded by the age's love of
more formal literature, especially of dialogues, which covers almost exactly
the same ground as the Jacobean essayists, with the added attractions of
style, and influenced Addison and his circle no less than Cornwallis, R. Johnson,
Bacon, Felltham, etc. )
The Booke of Honor and Armess Wherein is discoursed the causes of Quarrell,
and the nature of Injuries, with their repulses. Also the Meanes of
satisfaction and pacification. 1590.

mostly addressed to typical figures. It should be remembered that
letter-writing had already become an art under the influence of Cicero,
Seneca and Guevara. Angell Day's English Secretary (1586), had been
followed by many other manuals of letter-writing. J. Hall had published
Six Decads of Epistles (1607-10), and the letters of J. L. Guez de Balzac
had been translated by W. T[yrwhit] and R. B. (Sir R. Baker ? ). )
