INTENTIONS DE LYLY APRÈS LA PUBLICATION DE L'ANATOMY OF WIT

I haue finished the first part of Zuphues whome now I lefte readye to crosse the Seas to Englande, if the winde sende him a shorte cutte you shall in the seconde part heare what newes he bringeth and I hope to haue him retourned within one Summer. In the meane season IL wil stay for him in the country and as soone as he arriueth you shall know of his comming.

(The Anatomy of Wit, I, 323).

So I suspecting that Euphues would be carped of some curious Reader, thought by some false shewe to bringe them in hope of that which then I meant not, leading them with a longing of a second part, that they might speake well of the first, being neuer farther from my studie, then when they thought mee houering ouer it.
