[738] Probably before he left school (Masson, Life of Milton, 1875, i. p. 57).

[739] E. Godfrey, op. cit. p. 178.

[740] De la Mothe devoted a short chapter to enumerating women's clothing.

[742] Treatise for Declining French Verbs, 1580, 1599, and 1641.

[743] Perhaps this is Bellot's French Methode of 1588, of which there is no copy in the British Museum, the Bodleian, or Cambridge University Library. There is no trace of his having written a third grammar called the French Guide; in his French Grammar of 1578 the verbs are arranged in five conjugations.

[744] This section in particular bears a close resemblance to the Exercitatio of Vives. See Dialogue 17, in F. Watson's Tudor Schoolboy Life.

[745] In Broad Street Ward; see Cooper, List of Aliens, Camden Soc., 1862; Hug. Soc. Pub., x. Pt. iii. p. 187.
