Description
Excerpt from Philip Melanchthon: The Protestant Preceptor of Germany, 1497-1560
From these I acquired a vocabulary and style, but we boys had no instruction in composition We read every thing without discrimination, but especially did we pre fer modern works like those of Politian. My style took its complexion from these, and reproduced these harsher and less polished authors rather than the grace and beauty of the ancients.
