Part 2 (1/2)

The exalish, which make in our eyes its chief value, were of course introduced as casual illustrations

The lexicographical and grammatical works of this noted prelate undoubtedly exercised a very powerful and beneficial influence at, and long after, the period of their composition; and I am disposed to think that this was particularly the case with his _Rudiuae Latinae_, 1490 The former was not only imported into this country for sale, but was reprinted here in 1512, and the _Cornucopia_ forroundwork of our own _Ortus Vocabulorum_, 1500

II Next in succession to Bishop Perrot, whose publications, however, cannot be said to belong to the present category in ree, was JOHANNES SULPICIUS VERULanus, who is perhaps to be viewed as the leader of the land, a fuller and rammar Nearly the first book which proceeded from the press of Richard Pynson was his _Opus Grammaticum_, 4to, 1494

Almost every successive impression see, as I apprehend, to the circumstance that the volume was compounded of separate tracts, of which some were occasionally added or omitted at pleasure, or variously placed

The edition of 1505 comprises the undermentioned pieces:--

Sulpitii Verulani examen de 8 partibus orationis

De declinatione nominum

De preteritis & supinis

Carmen iuuenile de moribus mensae

Vocabuloruiimine & constructione

De componendis ordinandisq epistolis

De carminibus

The title-leaf presents the woodcut, often employed by Pynson in his later performances, of a person, probably a school a paper in one hand, and reading from a book which lies open before hiical labours of Sulpicius, which were subsequently edited and glossed by Badius Ascensius, were long extree nuns of Henry the Seventh and his son Of these, as I have said, some proceeded from the London press, while others were imported from Paris

The _fasciculi_ in one of 1511 are as follow:--

Sulpitii Examen de octo partibus orationis

De declinatione nominum orthoclitorum

---------------------- heteroclitorueneribus nominum
