BALLANTYNE PRESS: EDINBURGH AND LONDON FOOTNOTES: [1] There is some sort of evidence that the Grammar of Perottus was in demand here in England as a work of reference and instruction; for I find it in the interesting account-book of John Dorne of Oxford for 1520. It is bracketed with the _Vulgaria_ of Whittinton and the _Vocabula_ and _Accidence_ of Stanbridge as having fetched, the four together, 3s. It is described as being in leather binding, in quarto. [2] Knight refers to the _Epistolæ_ of Franciscus Philelphus, printed at Milan in 1471. [3] Introduction to Hayne's _Latin Grammar_, 1640. [4] It may be worth while to note that the use of _woll_ for _whole_ was not an unusual type of orthography and pronunciation in early English. Thus, in the _Interlude of the Four Elements_ (1519), we have:-- "For, as I said, they have none iron, Whereby they should in the earth mine, To search for any _wore_." And in the _Image of Hypocrisy_, part 3, Robin Hood is called _Robyn Whode_. Lord Chancellor Westbury used to pronounce _whole_ in the same way, and he would also say _whot_ for _hot_. When Mr. Registrar Hazlitt was engaged with him on the Bankruptcy Bill, he remarked more than once: "I am sick, Hazlitt, of the _woll_ business." Transcriber's Notes:
