Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The old Nor was Lord Falkland ill advised to resort to the library of Coventry School, for it was so well furnished, that it could hardly be matched outside London and the greater cities. But, alas! The eighteenth century respected not the patience and generosity of the past. The noble volumes, printed at the great presses of Europe, were heedlessly mutilated, and served as missiles for an idle generation of schoolboys, who knew not the example and the severity of Philemon Holland. The few poor relics which stirvive are a sad proof of excellence wantonly out raged, and if to-day they are beyond the reach of worse mutilation, the harm already done is irreparable. But in Holland’s time the books were still fresh upon their shelves, and it is small wonder that in a panegyric of Coventry, presently quoted, he praises the city of his adoption for maintaining a faire Librarie, not exampled (without offence to others be it spoken) in many cities of the Realme.’
Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus
