Explorations 307 maintain civil obedience by gaining the good will of the lower classes to the upper.” Kelso, op. cit., p. 88. 11Ruth Kelso deals with these, pp. 118 ff. Lyly’s Euphues is, of course, prominent in the list. She doesn’t include Brinsley’s Ludus Literarius, whose advice on theme writing is pointed up with reference to the Ciceronian ends of education: “The principal end of making Theams, I take to be this, to furnish schollers with all store of the choicest matter, that they may thereby learn to understand, speak or write of any ordinary theame, Morale or Politicall, such as usually fall into discourse amongst men and in practice of life; and especially concerning virtues and vices” (Campagnac’s reprint, London, 1917, p. 172).
