What ls Foolseap2

Everybody the world over recog-
nizes that paper foolscap size means
a standard measurement OF 10 inches
by l6, yet now few can givt the reason
why. In England the paper mark was
originally a crown, and when the com
monwcalth was set up Cromwell was
approached as to what mark should be
used in the future, He. with charac-
terlstic contempt for crowns, replied:
"a fools cap" and so It became and
remained. for at the restoration the
matter was overlooked until too late
to act upon the ultimate discovery.
