Today’s puzzle pictured above for the Paleographical Challenge. Suggested solution to yesterday’s challenge shown below:
If you would teach a Scholar in the
highest form, how to read, take Donne,
and of Donne this
Satire.
When he
has learnt
to read Donne,
with all the force
& meaning which
are involved in
the words - then
send him to
Milton. &
he will stalk
on, like a
Master,
enjoying
his Walk.
