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 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.
