In the time of Sir Thomas More our language was in a great de-gree formed and settled, and it appears from Pen Jonson, that his■works were considered as models of pure and elegant style. Thefollowing is introduced as a specimen.

A letter written with a cole by Sir Thomas More to hvs dougliternuistres Margaret Roper , within a whyle after lie was prisonerin tiie Towre.

“ My me own good doughter, our lorde be thanked I am in goodhellhe of botlye, and in good quiet of minde: and of worldlythynges I no more desyerthen I haue. ! beseebe hym make youall mery in the liope of heauen.

Thomas Moke, knight.“ Of the wits that flourished in the reign of Henry VIII . nonehas been more frequently celebrated than the earl of Surry; Dr.Johnson gives among others the following extract.

Description of Spring, wherein eche thing rencives, sate onlythe lover.

“Tiie soote season that bud, and bloome fourth Fringes,

With grenc hath cladde the hy 11, and eke the vale,

The Nightingall with tethers new she singes ;

The turtle to her mate hath told the tale:

Sonier is come, tar every spray now springes,

The hart hath iuinge liysolde head, on the pale,

Tiie bucke in brake his winter coate he tlynges;

The fishes tlete with neve repayred scale:

The adder all her slough away she tlynges,

'The swift swallow pur. iictli the flyessmalle,

The busy bee her honey how she niyngcs ;

Winter iswonie that was tne fl oil res bale.

And thus 1 see among these pleasant thyngesEche care decay es, and yet my sorrow sprynges.”

“Barclay wrote, about 1550; his chief work is the " Ship ofF.ooles” of which the following extract will shew his style.

Of Mockers and Scornas and False Accusers.

O Heartless fooles, haste hear to our doctrine,

Leaue otTthe waves of vour enormit'e,

Enforce you to my precept to encl-iite,

For here shall I shelve you good and veritie: '

Euciiue, and ye hnde shall great prosperitie,

Ensuing the doctrine of our fathers olde,

And godly lavves in valour worth great golds.

Who that will followethe graces manyfoldeWhich are in vertue, siiall finde auauncemcMt :

Wherfore ye fooles that in your sinne are lioide,

Ensue ye wisdome, and leaue youriewde intent,

Wisdome is the wav of men most excellent:

Therfore haue done, and shortly spede your pace,

To quaint yourselfaud company with grace.

Learne wiiat is vertue, therin is great solace,

Learne wiiat is truili, sadnes and prudence,

Let grutche lie gone, and granitic purchase;

Forsake your folly and incoiiuenienee,

Cease to be fooles and ay to sue ofl’enre,

Follow ye vertue, chiefs rooie of godiynesF'or it and wisedome is ground of clenlynes.

Wisedonie aud vertue two tliinges are doubtles,Whiclie man endueth with honour speciall,

Rut suclie lieartes as slope in foolishnesKnoweth nothing, and will nought know at all:

But in this little barge in principal 1All foolish mockers I purpose to repreue,

Clawe lie his backe that teelelb itche or greue.

“About tiie year J553, wrote Dr. Wilson, a man celebratedfor the politeness of his style, and tiie extent of his knowledge:.vliat was the state oi our language in his time, the following maybe of use to shew:

Pbonunciation is an opte orderinge both of tiie voyce, coun-tenaunco, and all the vvliole liodye, accordyhgt to the wortliines ofsuclie woordes and matters as by speaelie are declared, 'i’hc vsehereof is such for anye one that liketii to haue prayse for tellynghis tale in open assemblie, that liauing a good tongue, and a come-lye countenaunc.c, he slial be thouglit to passe all oilier that hauetiie like vtterannee: thoughe they haue much belter learning.The tongue geuetli acertayne grace to euerye matter, and bcauti-fieth the cause in like manor, as a swete soundynge lute imu hescttetli forthe a mcane douised ballade. Or as the smmde of agood instrumente styrreth the hearers, and mouetli much delite,so a clean; soundyng voice comforletb niuche our deintie eares,with muclie swete melodic, and eauseth vs to allowe tlie.mattcrrather for tiie reporters sake, then the reporter foi the matter*sake. Demosthenes therfore, that famouse oratour, being askedwhat was the ciiiefest point in al oratorie, gaue the citiefe anti onelypraise to pronunciation ; being demaunded, wiiat was tiie sccondcand the thirde, he still mad aimsivere, Pronnncialion, and wouldmake none other aunsivere, till they leite askyng, declaryng here-by that arte without vtterannee can dooe nothi ng, vtlerauncewithout arte can dooe right muchc. And no doubte that man is inoutivarde apparaunce halfe a good clarke, that hatli a cleane ton-gue, and a comely gesture of his body. -F.sehines lykivyse beyngbannislied his countrie through Demosthenes , wlicn he laid reticlelotlie Rhodians his own oration, and Demosthenes aunsivere thore-unto, by force whereof lie was bannislied, and all they inarueiledmuch at the excellencie of the same: then (quod iF.schines) youwould bane inarueiled muclie more if you had heard liymselfespeake it. Thus lieyng cast in miserie and bannislied for ener,he could not but gene such great reporte of his deadly and mortal1 ennemy.—These few extracts may be sufficient to give some ideaof the state of our language in dillcrent periods, and of its progresstoward its present copiousness and elegance.
