Early English Meals and Manners

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Promptorz'um has Heyncemann (henchemanne) Geroloctsta, duorum generum and Mr Way in his note says, The pages of distinguished personages were called henxmen, as Spelman supposes, from Ger. Hengst, a war horse, or according to Bp. Percy, from their place being at the side or haunch of their lord. See the rest Of Mr Way's note. He is a most provokingly careful editor. If ever you hit on a plum in your wanderings through other books you are sure to find it afterwards in one of Mr Way's notes when you bethink yourself of trrrning to the Promptorium.
