Perhaps you are now ready aye, more than ready to
dismiss the theology? - If so we
will hark back to 1580 the year that saw
the printing of a neat specimen
of Black letter, whose title runs
"The Boke - named the Governor, -
devised by Sir Thomas Elyot,
Knight". Elyot was an M. P.,
a servant of Henry 8ths., a protage
of Wolseys, and a friend of Sir T.
Mores. He gives us his
opinions, in elaborate detail, as to the
whole nurture and bringing up
of a youth who is to have
authority as magistrate or ruler in
the "publyke weale"; including the
value, (to that end) of music,
poetry, hunting, dancing - and
the drawing of the long bow.
Evidently, he was not in
the college slang now current
