As quit reat he had to present annually to the king six horse- shoes and sixty-one horseshoe nails, To the modern mind the number of nails would appear to be superfluous, but when it is rémembered that the horseshoes of that period required ten nails aplece it will be seen that the calculations of Edward 111, merely al lowed one over iu case of accident, Furthermore, the shoes were all to be for the horse's fore feet, from which fact some historians draw the infer ence that the animals ridden. in knights’ tournaments were encouraged to injure each other with their front hoofs.—London News, the “Correct to a T.” Our earliest quotation for this or for the kindred phrases “to sult one to a T.” “to fit to & TT.” “to know die to a T.," is of 1603. Can any one help us to an earlier example? No one of our uiany instances throws any light upon its origin, A current obvious con je ture would explain a T" as “a T square,” but to this there are va rious objections We have no evi dence as yet that the name *T square” goes peck to the seventeenth century and no example of its being called simply “a T.” and In few if any of our ipstances would the substitution of “a T square” for “a T" make any tolerable sense The notion seems rather to be that of minute exactness, as it were “to the minutest point” But the evidence is mainly negative If examples can be found of *T square” before 1700 or of its reduction fap! “TT or of earlier examp.es * they may help to settle the rigin. - London Notes and meaning The First Wire Nail.
