William Ponsonby, 1598 

 ' Barret's first work. It was published in London in 1598 with two dedicatory addresses, the one to the Earl of 



Pembroke and the other to his son William, Lord Herbert of Cardiff, for whose instruction the book was professedly 



prepared . . . Barret deals largely with military tactics, and many interesting diagrams may be found among his 



pages.' I). N. B. 



According to Chalmers, SHAKESPEARE alludes to this work in ' All's well that ends well.' 



It contains complimentary verses, signed ' WILLIAM SA. Gentleman ', which are of such unusual excellence that the 



assumption of their having been written by SHAKESPEARE himself is not altogether beyond possibility.
