	Ascham's first published work, ''Toxophilus'' ("Lover of the Bow") in 1545, was dedicated to [[Henry VIII of England\|Henry VIII]]. The objects of the book were twofold, to commend the practice of shooting with the [[long bow]], and to set the example of a higher style of composition than had yet been attempted in English. Ascham presented the book to Henry VIII at [[Greenwich]] soon after his return from the capture of [[Boulogne-sur-Mer\|Boulogne]], and received a grant of a pension of £10 a year.

	Not a general treatise on educational method, the book concentrates on the teaching of Latin; and it was not intended for schools, but "specially prepared for the private brynging up of youth in gentlemen and noblemens houses".
