• Writing Paper. I have been raked the deriVation and application of the term cap paper. ,Cap, as , applies to piper. is jof modern mse entirely,!at least in certain part s o f the United States. Not more Man thirty y ear ,, , s i nee I was .so familit with the phrase foolseari, that I distinctly recol lect how 'Tap," Ito abbreviation, grated on my ear upon first hearing it, as much so as "pike" for turnpike dock yet. The question is noir shifted to what is the origin of ' the phrase foolscap, as applied to writing paper, which has borne' this : name so long that its origin is lost to most permre:. i.The Kings of Engla'nd, from Edward 1., if not earlier, granted various monopo lies, either for the support of the Govern 'anent. or to enrich faihritea. One, of these was the eFelusive right to manu facture papey, {:anted by the first Charles. On the liner kinds was a ,-pecies of no tice of the monopoly, - the royal arms of England forming the water mark. Vast sums werti of c•ourse t undo front this ex clusive right try snantifteitire and vend an article in such general :use. • All these 1/1011.1)0111,S were swept away by the Parliament which brought Charles to the •scaiTold,' and, itt: this particular ease, by way of showing their contempt for the monarch, they ordered the royal arms to latitaken from the paper, as they had. already been from sign posts, public halls, &c., substiniune a fool, with his cap and bells, as the drip. This was done in 1649. MOst of the manuscripts written be tween that' period and IG6O bear, accord iegly, as a watermark, a fold tvearing the 'dress described as . his costume in the court ofthe British; monarchs. Crom well, when matte Lord Protector, chang ed the water-I-mirk by substioning a dra gon, grasffing irt his aura arrows of fire, end afterward putting his coat of arms in its place:. This still occasionally ap pears. Charles 11. attho Restoration replaced the royal arms, and enlarged the size of the - sheet, wach was much smaller than we see in modern darn. . In England, paper of the acid which The Rump Parliament ordered for their journals, bearing the foolscap effigy, is still in. 'existence, and the title, as in many other things, is still retained foi ordinary writing paper, Centuries after the .reason for it has ceased, and now serves, as it will serve for ages, to desig nate all writing paper in ordinary_ use, as distinguished front paper designed to be • folded in the form Of letters. This latter class of paper has been re duced -greatly in length, and ividened semowliat; to adapt it for a convenient shape in folding, and;still bears its origi nal name of post papp, applied to it kohl the mail or post by which letters were conveyed to their addre4s. So recently has the l United States made, its' own paper, that most of our early letters, written in the West even as late as .1800, bear the impress of :the royal arms ; St. clair's, Ilarmar's, Wit. linson's, and Wayne's letters, are all of this .description.Cist's ,Adverliser.
