See Dr. Winter, _Staple of News_, p. 161; Strutt, _Sports and Pastimes_, p. 166 f.; Knight, _London_ 1. 42. Jonson makes frequent mention of the motion. _Bartholomew Fair_ 5. 5 is largely devoted to the description of one, and _Tale Tub_ 5. 5 presents a series of them. =1. 7. 4 more cheats?= See note on _Cheaters_, 5. 6. 64, and Gloss. =1. 7. 16 The state hath tane such note of ’hem.= See note 1. 2. 22. =1. 7. 25 Your Almanack-Men.= An excellent account of the Almanac-makers of the 17th century is given by H.
