II. CONTEMPORARY WORKS OF GENERAL LEARNING
Brerewood, Edward. Enquiries touching the Diversity of Languages and
Religion ough the chief Parts of the World. 1614, 1622, 1647.
Brinsley, John. Ludus Literarius, or the Grammar Schoole; shewing how to
proceede from the first entrance into learning, to the highest perfection
required in the Grammar Schooles with ease, certainty and delight, both to
Masters and Schollers; onely according to our common Grammar, and
ordinary Classical authours, etc. 1612 and 1627.
Clarke, John (headmaster of Lincoln grammar school). Paroemiologia
anglo-latina . . . or Proverbs English and Latin; methodically disposed
according to the commonplace heads in Erasmus his Adages. 1639.
[Clarke says in his preface, he has gathered from Erasmus, scholars and
friends, 'over and besides my own observation of many golden proverbs
dropping from vulgar mouths ima de plebe. ' The most complete
collection of English proverbs was that of John Ray, the naturalist,
A Collection of English Proverbs with short Annotations, 1670, the preface
to which gives an account of the previous English collections. ]
Clarke, Samuel. The Marrow of Ecclesiastical History with Lives of 148
Fathers, Schoolmen, and modern Divines. 1649. 2nd ed. enlarged. 1654.
3rd ed. 1675.
Crow, William. An exact Collection or Catalogue of our English Writers on
the Old and New Testament. 1663. [This consists of 270 pages of close
type, giving references to English commentators on every book of the
Bible, and almost to every chapter, and often to nearly every verse of
a chapter. Crow's book was followed by bishop Wilkins's Catalogue
in 1668. ]
Dury, John. Reformed School. 1650.
Estienne, Henri. The Art of Making Devises. Treating of Hieroglyphicks,
Symboles, Emblemes, Aenigmas, Sentences, Parables, Reverses of Medalls,
Arms, Blazons, Cimiers, Cyphres and Rebus. Translated into English by
Thomas Blount. 1650. [The making of devices' involved some pictorial
representation together with a symbolic meaning. When this is expressed
in words it becomes an emblem. In the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, emblem-books were a recognised recreation to the scholar.
We learn from Farnaby and Hoole that they were used in schools as
helps in phrase-making in both Latin and Greek prose and verse com-
position. Amongst the English emblem-writers were Geoffrey Whitney,
Choice of Emblems, 1586; Andrew Willet, 1598; Peacham's Minerva
Britannia, 1612; Francis Quarles, 1635; George Wither, 1635. The
foreign emblem-writers, Alciat, Bocchius, Jovius, Maccius, quickened
language study, especially Latin (by presenting the foreign languages
along with pictures of what was described in words) as well as serving for
scholarly recreation. On emblem literature see Green, H. , Shakespere and
the Emblem-writers, 1870. ]
Habington, Thomas. The Epistle of Gildas, a Britain entitled De Excidio et
Conquestu Britanniae, translated into English. 1638.
Hales, John. Golden Remains. 1659.
Harvey, William. Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in
Animalibus. 1628.
Heylyn, Peter. Cosmographie in four bookes, containing the horographie
and historie of the whole world. 1652.
