AS might be supposed, the earliest book
that is assigned to the child is the Latin
grammar. Boys Latin grammars for
several centuries were mere text books
compiled from the larger works of
Donatus and Priscian, and they were
commonly known by the name of
donates" or @Donete, term which
occurs in "Piers Plowman. The word
grammar, on the contrary, was used
more in connection with Latin studies
generally, and science, as well as even
magical power, was sometimes spoken of
as grammarye. A very commonly used
school book in monasteries seems to have
been the "Consolations of Philosophy f"
Gn the original, of course), by Boethius,
of which at least fragment would
most probably be found even in the most
meager convent library"
The earliest book in existence written
expressly for boys is here stated to be
Aldhelm's "De Septenario, de Metris.
AEnigmatibus, ac Pedum Regulis. which
probably appeared about the end of the
9TH century. A great part of it consists
of dialogues between teacher and pupil,

A lesson book for children is attributed
to Alcuin, and it contains questions on
arithmetic which are said to be found
even in some current schoolbooks. Here

may you live as long as you have lived,
and as much more, and thrice as much
as all this, and if God give you one year
in addition to the others you will be just
a century DID, What was the lads
age?"
The first book given to his people in
English by Alfred the Great was the al
ready mentioned Consultations of Phil
osophy," to which he added "The Uni
versal History of Orosius, a very favori.e
book in monastery schools. In the 10th
century, Elfric, ~the grammarian, :"
wrote @Colloquy, intended as read
ing book to help boys to speak Latin. 1t
consists OF conversations about every day
life. In one place a boy is made to say
that he is too young to eat meat; but he
was not too young to drink beer, as he
says that he drinks ale, if he can get
it. F" In the same century appeared a
book on astronomy for children, as well
as map. now preserved in the British
Museum, less incorrect and having fewer
fabulous countries than some made
later. The Saturday Resie~.
