  8. A quotation from Richard Steele

    But however low and poor the taking of Snuff argues a Man to be in his own Stock of Thought, or Means to employ his Brains and his Fingers, yet there is a poorer Creature in the World than He, and this is a Borrower of Snuff; a Fellow that keeps no Box of his own, but is always asking others for a Pinch.

    Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
    Essay (1709-06-28), The Tatler, No. 35

  19. It so happens these kinds of batteries are sought after by flashlight and e cig enthusiasts.
