Somebody wrote: "To the Dutch the

vention of the thimble. The Dutch
achieved this great invention about the
year 1890"
How can this stupid error have arisenY
The thimblG is probably prehistoric. Thin
bles in some form or other must have been
used by the women who executed the rich
embroideries of the medieval time The
late Professor J. f. Thorold Rogers in his
"History of A griculture and Prices In Eng
land" mentions, under the year 1i04, ono
dozen thimbles which cost shillings.
What is, however, more to the purpose,
they are frequently alluded to by our cid
dramatists. Here are two examples from
the greatest of them.
