[Footnote 262: Published from 1631 to 1660. Mr. Halliwell
reprinted this little book in 1866. He says, "It is believed
to be unique. It is an edition with many variations of the
old Book of Riddles alluded to by Slender." The copy in
the British Museum has a pencil note, "Cost me ten pounds
unbound." It is in black letter.]
[Footnote 263: This, as far as I can learn, is the only year
of his publishing.]
[Footnote 264: These (said to be the invention of Prince
Rupert) are small pear-shaped bubbles of glass, formed by
dropping melted glass in water. They will bear a smart stroke
on the thick end, but if the thin end is fractured, which is
done very easily, they are resolved into a very fine powder,
bursting with a slight explosion. These toys are easily
procurable.]
