Chapter V: Part 5

PAGE 183, l. 21. “_Quare._”—David Q., died in 1724. He had invented repeaters, and throughout the eighteenth century was what Tompion was later among watchmakers, what Joe Manton was long among gunmakers, a name to conjure with and to quote.

PAGE 184, l. 24. “_Box it about; ’twill come to my Father._”—The famous Jacobite cant-phrase for breeding disturbance in hopes of a fresh Revolution.
