[Footnote 231: See the exact text of this license, which includes three works of Tory, under no. 12, infra.]

[Footnote 232: 1530, new style.]

[Footnote 233: Not _à l'escu de Basle_, as in the note printed by M. Brunet.]

[Footnote 234: The license, which embraces the _Economic Xenophon_, and is printed at the end of the last-named book, extends the author's rights for four years, not for two. The discrepancy may be explained by the fact that the _Ædiloquium_ was printed while Tory's application for the license was pending,--that is to say, in the first three months of 1531, which were then reckoned in the year 1530, according to the old computation. In fact, the license is dated June 18, 1531, which seems to conflict with the date of printing of the _Ædiloquium_. This circumstance also explains why the second title of the book is different in the printed volume from that given in the license (_Erotica_). See p. 31, supra.]

[Footnote 235: [For the Latin original, see Appendix X, _x_.]]

[Footnote 236: He does not mention the _Ædiloquium_, because it was in Latin.]

[Footnote 237: In the printed volume of the _Ædiloquium_, Tory modified this sub-title; for it might well have marred his epitaphs with a suspicion of obscenity which was very far from his thought.]

[Footnote 238: On September 23, 1524, and September 5, 1526. Tory requested an extension of the licenses for his Hours because he was about to reprint them. The second edition of the quarto Hours appeared on October 20, 1531.]

[Footnote 239: We have not this 'privilege tresample,' which probably was printed in some other of Tory's books, now lost. In truth, that accomplished man was accustomed to have several books included in each of his licenses.]
