The Whole Works of Roger Ascham, Vol. 1: Now First Collected and Revised, With a Life of the Author; Part 1, Life, &C., And Letters (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Whole Works of Roger Ascham, Vol. 1: Now First Collected and Revised, With a Life of the Author; Part 1, Life, &C., And LettersIt remains, therefore, to speak of his Letters, which are by far the most interesting part Of his writings, and occupy as much space as all his other works put together. The greater number Of them, it is true, are written in Latin, whereby they are less generally accessible to the reader. But I have endeavoured to remedy this by pre fixing to every letter a short summary of its con tents, by means Of which, the reader may trace the chief facts Of Ascham's life from the year 1539, when he was in full reputation as a scholar at the University, to his death in 1568.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
