Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from English Works, 1904: Toxophilus Report of the Affaires and State of Germany; The Scholemaster
F the three English Works by Ascham printed in this volume, the Toxophilus is probably the only one which appeared in his lifetime. It was first published in 1545 by Edward Whitchurch. A second edition printed by Thomas Marshe appeared in 1571, and a third in 1589 printed by Abell Ieifes. As copies of the first edition vary slightly, it is as well to state that I have followed one in the Library of Jesus College, Cambridge, for which I have been indebted to the kindness of Mr Arthur Gray, with occasional reference to the Capell copy in Trinity Library. There are some readings in one of the copies in the British Museum (c. 31. C. 27) which I have found nowhere else. Mr Arber in his reprint appears to have followed this.
