Produced by Judy Boss [Transcriber's Note: I have omitted signature designations, have transcribed Greek characters but not italicized them, and have expanded the usual Renaissance contractions for "m" and "n" as well as the abbreviation for Latin terminal "que"; marginalia are separated from textual line by // and a curly bracket or vertical line vertically exending over more than one line is represented by a curly bracket on each successive line. I have also closed : and ? with the word preceding.] [Updater's note: The previous version of this file used HTML tags and entities to indicate Latin1 and Unicode characters. These have been replaced with the actual characters. Italics are now indicated with surrounding underscore characters, and superscripts with a preceding "^".] THE _SCHOLEMASTER_ _Or plaine and perfite way of tea- chyng children, to vnderstand, write, and speake, the Latin tong, but specially purposed for the priuate brynging vp of youth in Ientle- men and Noble mens houses, and commodious also for all such, as haue forgot the Latin tonge, and would, by themselues, with- out a Scholemaster, in short tyme, and with small paines, recouer a sufficient habilitie, to vnder- stand, write, and speake Latin._ By Roger Ascham. _An._ 1570. _AT LONDON._ Printed by Iohn Daye, dwelling ouer Aldersgate. _Cum Gratia & Priuilegio Regiæ Maiestatis, per Decennium._ [page intentionally blank] To the honorable Sir William Cecill Knight, principall Secretarie to the Quenes most excellent Maiestie.
