Footnote 312: "That young men travel under some tutor, or grave servant,
I allow well: so that he be such a one that hath some entrance into the
language, and hath been in the country before; whereby he may be able to
tell them what things are worthy to be seen in the country where they
go: what acquaintances they are to seek; what exercises or discipline
the place yieldeth. For else young men shall go hooded, and look abroad
little" (Essays: Of Travel).

will be seen from the above letter that fear of a change in their son's

Letter of Advice to a Young Gentleman of an Honorable Family, Now in his
Travels beyond the Seas. By a True Son of the Church of England,
London, 1688. The writer hopes that above all things the young man may
return "A well-bred Gentleman, a good Scholar, and a sound Christian."

wrote to Salisbury that his son was ill at Padua. "He finds relish in
nothing on this side the mountains, nor much in anything on this side
the sea; his affections being so strangely set on his return homeward,
that any opposition is a disease." Cranborne's tutor, Dr Lister, wrote
to Carleton in December: "Sir, we must for England, there is no
resisting of it. If we stay the fruit will not be great, the discontent
infinite. My Lord is going to dinner, this being the first meal he
eateth." (State Papers, 1610. Cited in Life and Letters of Sir Henry
Wotton, ed. Pearsall-Smith, vol. i. p. 501.)
