Excerpt from Introduction of Knowledge: A Compendyous Regyment; Or a Dyetary of Helth Made in Mountpyllier

My dear Colonel,

You are our most widely-travelled friend here. Your steps have wandered far beyond Boorde's range. Asia, North and South, Africa, North and South too, the Indies, and America, have seen you; the Crimea has been stained by your blood; and there are few Courts and cities in Europe where you have not been. I may therefore well dedicate to you Boorde's records of his travels, more than 300 years ago, in his Introduction of Knowledge.

On the Elizabethan porch of your fine old Tudor house is the date of 1578, while Anne Boleyn's badge is the centre ornament of your dining-room ceiling, and Tudor badges are about it. I may therefore well dedicate to you Boorde's Dyetary of 1542, which starts with directions that may have been studied by the builder of your own house, or the early dwellers in it. As it was once my Father's too, and has been the scene of many a happy visit at different times of my life, I like to mix the thought of the old house with my old author Andrew Boorde, and to fancy that he'd have enjoyed ordering where the moat was to be, the stables, and all the belongings, and lecturing the owner as to how to manage house and servants, wife and child, pocket and body.
