doubtless puzzled many writers who use
the paper known by that name, and yet as
in many similar cases, it took its name
from a very simple circumstance, Charles
l. Of England, granted numerous monop-
olies for the support of The government
Among others was the manufacture Of pa
per. The watermnrk Of tho finest sort
was tie royal arms Of England. The con-
sumption Of this article was great, and
large fortunes were made by those who
purchased the exclusive right to vend it,
This, among monopoliss, was set aside by
the Parliament that brought Charles | to
the scalfold; and by way Of showing their
contempt for the King they ordered the
royal arms to be taken from the paper,
and fool with his cap and bells to be sub
stituted. It's now over two hundred
years since the foolscap was taken from
the paper, still Of the size which Parlia'
meDs ordered for their journals bears the
name Of the watermark placed there as az
