The Life by Robert Of Shrewsbury, given here in full, was published in English in 163 5, by a Father of the Society of Jesus, but it is now hardly to be met with, and the style is very antiquated. One quotation from this Author's Preface may not be deemed out of place here.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
