[1] The manuscript of Henry the Eighth reposes in the Vatican,
witnessed by his own hand in this inscription:--"Anglorum Rex,
Henricus Leoni X. 'mittit hoc opus et fidei testem et amicitiae.'"--I
found this inscription in one of the notes of Selden to the
"Polyolbion" of Drayton.
[2] The famous Grammar of Lilly was the work of a learned
association, in which it appears that both the king and the cardinal
had the honour to co-operate. Sir Thomas Elyot has designated Henry
"as the chief author."--Preface to "The Castle of Health."
