It should be read by all who take an interest in the subject. Mr Bruce also refers to Kynaston’s _Museum Minervæ_. P.S.--Mr Bullein and Mr Watts have since referred me to Henry, who has in each volume of his _History of England_ a regular account of learning in England, the Colleges and Schools founded, and the learned men who flourished, in the period of which each volume treats. Had I seen these earlier I should not have got the following extracts together; but as they are for the most part not in Henry, they will serve as a supplement to him.] [Footnote 8: First of these is Mr Charles H. Pearson, then the Rev. Prof. Brewer, and Mr William Chappell.] [Footnote 9: Mr Wm. Chappell gave me the reference.] [Footnote 10: In the Romance of Blonde of Oxford, Jean of Dammartin is taken into the service of the Earl of Oxford as _escuier_, esquire. He waits at table on knights, squires, valets, boys and messengers. After table, the ladies keep him to talk French with them.] [[Footnote 10a: This is not intended to confine the definition of Music as taught at Oxford to its one division of _Harmonica_, to the exclusion of the others, _Rythmica, Metrica_, &c. The Arithmetic _said_ to have been studied there in the time of Edmund the Confessor is defined in his Life (MS. about 1310 A.D.) in my _E. E. Poems & Lives of Saints_, 1862, thus, Arsmetrike is a lore: þat of figours al is & of drauȝtes as me draweþ in poudre: & in numbre iwis.]] [Footnote 11: It was in part a principle of Anglo-Saxon society at the earliest period, and attaches itself to that other universal principle of fosterage. A Teuton chieftain always gathered round him a troop of young retainers in his hall who were voluntary servants, and they were, in fact, almost the only servants he would allow to touch his person. T. Wright.]
