Henry Schonward, a glass-euiter. Of
Nuremburg, let some aqua forts drop

out, and looked sadly on while his
neighbors rushed in among the ruins,

conist. He tried the snuff and found it
was improved in pungency and aroma.
He opened new shop, built an oven,
and in short time backyard snuff,
called "The Irish black
guard" had great run, and the
fortune of Landyfoot was made. r.. Chi
