The term foolscap, 10 designate a certain
kind Of paper, no doubt has puzzled many
all inquirer. The origin is not only anus
ing, but historical. Charles the First, of
England, granted many monopolies for the
support of the Government. Among others
was the manufacture of paper. The water
mark of the finest sort was the royal coat Of
arms Of England. The consumption Of this
article was great, and large fortunes were
made by those who had the sole right TO vend
1t. This, among other monopoles, was set
aside by the Parliament that brought Charles
the First to the scaffold, and by the way Of
showing the contempt for the King they or.
dered the royal arms to be taken from the
paper, and fool, with his cap and bells, to
be substituted. II Is now over three hum
dred years since the FOOLS cap has been
taken from the paper, but still the paper, of
the same size which the Parliament ordered
for their journals, bears the name of the
water mark placed there as an indignity to
Charles the First.
