et pratique en l'instruction du Roy par Antoine Pluvinel son Escuyer principal, Conseiller en son Conseil d'Estat, son Chambellan ordinaire, et Sous-Gouverneur de sa Majeste. Paris, 1624. Footnote 265: Opening words of _An Apologie for Poetrie_, ed. 1595. Footnote 266: _Historiettes_, vol. i. p. 89 of ed. 1834. Marguerite of Valois compared M. de Souvray, the governor of Louis XIII., to Chiron rearing Achilles. Contemporary satire said that M. de Souvray "n'avoit de Chiron que le train de derriere." Footnote 267: Henri Sauval, _op. cit._, p. 498. Footnote 268: _A Dialogue concerning Education_, in _Tracts_, London, 1727, p. 297. We must allow for the fact that English university men did not approve of the French ambition to elevate the vernacular, or of their translation of the classics, or of any displacement of Latin from the highest place in the ambitions of anyone with pretentions to learning. See also Evelyn, _State of France_, p. 99. Footnote 269: _Oxford Historical Society_, vol. v. p. 325. Footnote 270: Written to John Aubrey, between 1685-93. Quoted in _Oxford Historical Society_, vol. v. p. 295. Footnote 271: Ravaisson, _Archives de la Bastille_, Paris, 1866, tome i. p. 263; cited in _Sports et Jeux d'Exercice_, p. 377. Footnote 272: Thomas Carte, _Life of James, Duke of Ormond_, vol. iii. p. 635. Footnote 273: Addit. MS. 19253 (British Museum). Footnote 274: _Memoires du Comte de Grammont_, Strawberry Hill, 1772. Footnote 275: In _The Compleat Gentleman_, 1622. Footnote 276: Nicolaus Clenardus Latomo Suo S.D., _Epistole_, Antverpiae, 1566, pp. 20-4, _passim_. See p. 234 for the historic incident of the drinking cup, broken by Vasaeus, and so impossible to replace, after a search through the whole Spanish village, that the rest of the party were obliged to drink out of their hands. As to expenses, Clenardus scoffs at the poets who sing of "Auriferum Tagum." "Aurum auferendum" would better express it, he found. Footnote 277: Ellis, _Original Letters_, 2nd Series, vol. ii. p. 38. Footnote 278: _Ibid._ Footnote 279: James Howell, _A Discours or Dialog_, containing a Perambulation of Spain and Portugall which may serve for a direction how to travell through both Countreys, London, 1662. Footnote 280: _Relation du Voyage d'Espagne_, a la Haye, 1691 (translated in 1692 under the title of "The Ingenious and Diverting Letters of the Lady ---- Travels into Spain"). Footnote 281: Com
