- summary: He was a faithful and affectionate subject to queen Elizabeth, in whose reign he turned protestant; was by her greatly favored, and finally died in peace in 1585.[4] That ill-directed restlessness which formed so striking a feature in the character of Henry VIII. A short epistle from queen Elizabeth to Sturmius, which is inserted in this collection, appears to refer to that of Sturmius which Ascham answers above.

- summary: We see (or at least I think I see) in Ford exactly the signs which are so familiar to us in our own day, and which repeat themselves regularly at the end of all periods of distinct literary creativeness--the signs of _excentricité voulue_. There has also been little difference in regarding the remarkable work (known as Tottel's _Miscellany_, but more properly called _Songs and Sonnets, written by the Right Honourable Lord Henry Howard, late Earl of Surrey, and other_) which was published by Richard Tottel in 1557, and which went through two editions in the summer of that year, as marking the dawn of the new period.

- summary: And to say truth, _dene_ is the old Saxon word for a vale or low bottom, as _dune_ or _don_ is for a hill or hilly soil. The account of Tiberius Cæsar dashing out the brains of the all-too-clever mechanic (who had actually accomplished this feat), so as to prevent the Roman world from emancipating itself from the rule of _iron_ (or _of gold_), is the most startling legend in the imperial annals.
