Richard Field to become probably the best printer of foreign languages in London-that school and those schoolmasters were thoroughly competent. Of course, Shakspere was not a finished rhetorician upon leaving school, and never was a learned one; but he would have a grasp upon the chief tools of the complete rhetorical system, and that was all a boy of his turn really needed.
