1 The pipes on this and other Tokens are of the kind called by the vulgar, 

 "Fairy Pipes," which were made at the commencement of the 17th century. 

 They are frequently found in ploughed fields, whither they have been carried in 

 manure. They are generally without stems, but when perfect are about eight 

 inches long, thicker in the stem than modern pipes, with small heads almost 

 egg-shaped. In some districts they are found with the maker's initials at the 

 bottom of the head. By some they are believed to have been made long prior 

 to the reign of Elizabeth, duriug whose reign tobacco was first introduced ; there 

 are certainly reasons for supposing that the custom of smoking is more ancient 

 than the introduction of tobacco. When half of the great tower of Kirkstall 

 Abbey, Co. York, fell down in 1779, a number of these "fairy pipes" were 

 found imbedded in the mortar, and it is known that the most modern part of 

 the tower was built in the reign of Henry VII. ; and after the Abbey was dis- 

 mantled at the Reformation, there was no access to the upper part of the tower. 

 Several were lately found at Newcastle in the Castle midden, on removing the 

 houses built on that ancient accumulation. These pipes are called in Ireland 

 "Danes' pipes." One was found in a Danish Cairn in 1855 See Ulster Journal 

 of Archeology, iii p. 320.
