1 Considine quotes this in a way that recommends the use of dictionaries. He writes (p.1): ‘When the sixteenth-century theorist of education Roger Ascham wanted to argue as strongly as possible for the importance of a book, he said that it should “be euer in the Scholers hand, and also vsed of him, as a Dictionarie, for euerie present vse”.’
