* " Grains of Paradise."— Small pungent seeds brought from the East Indies. 



+ " Turnsole. "—A species of Heliotrope, of which " Gerard's Herbal," p. 334 (edit. 1636), gives 

 this quaint account:—" With the smaller Tornesale they in France doe die linnen rags and clouts 

 into a perfect purple colour, wherewith cooks and confectioners do colour jellies, wine, meats, and 

 sundry confections : which clouts in shops be called Tornesales after the nature of the herbes. The 

 name," says Gerard. " was given by reason of its flowering in the summer solstice, at which time 

 the Sun being farthest gone from the Equinoctial Circle, returned to the same." 



$ " Hip pocras,"— This was not a pure wine, but a compound of red or white wine with spices, as 

 cinnamon and sugar, strained through a woollen bag. The name is either derived from the com- 

 pound being ealled (as it was) "Vinum Hippocratis," the wine of that ancient physician ; or from 

 the woollen strainer, called by apothecaries Hippocrates's sleeve. Should any reader wish to know 

 of a receipt for making this, there is one in " Nares's Glossary." It must have been a somewhat 

 muddy beverage. John Aubrey, in his Life of Dr. Kettle, an eccentric President of Trinity College, 

 Oxford, says " Mistress Howe of Grendon once sent the Doctor a present of Hippocras and some 

 fine cheese-cakes, by a plain country fellow, her servant. The Doctor takes the wine, " What ! " 

 says he, " didst thou take this drink out of a ditch ? " 



\ "Quarrers," " quarries," or " quarrions," were square lumps of wax with a wick in the centre. 



|| This word is sometimes written "praise," "peris," or "parische." " Candells wax " and 

 " candells peris," frequently occur in household accounts of much earlier date. 



11 " Accats : " meaning provisions, delicacies, purchased. From the the French aeheier, to buy. 

 The "Clerk of the Acatery " was an officer in the King's Household. The words are now altered 

 to a "Caterer," and " Cates."
