NOTES: The Unhappy Mistake.

p. 477 _the Jack_. The small bowl placed as a mark for the players to
aim at. cf. _Cymbeline_ II, i: 'Was there ever man had such luck! when I
kissed the jack upon an up-cast to be hit away!'

p. 477 _the Block_. cf. Florio (1598). '_Buttino_, a maister or mistres
of boules or coites whereat the plaiers cast or playe; some call it the
blocke.'

p. 495 _vor Mainly be our Country Word, zure_. Wright, _English Dialect
Dictionary_, gives apposite quotations for 'mainly' from Gloucester,
Wilts and Devon. He also has two quotations, Somerset and West Somerset
for 'main' used adverbially. But 'mainly' is also quite common in that
county.

p. 495 _the Gun_. A well-known house of call. 2 June, 1668, Pepys
'stopped and drank at the Gun'.

p. 496 _a Broad piece_. This very common name was 'applied after the
introduction of the guinea in 1663 to the "Unite" or 20 shilling pieces
(Jacobus and Carolus) of the preceeding reigns, which were much broader
and thinner than the new milled coinage.'
