37. Two Runic Primstaves, or wooden Clog-Almanacks: one in the form of a
walking stick; the other, an oblong block, with a handle. See pp. 105,
161.
An engraving of the second may be found in the _Anglican Church
Calendar illustrated_, published by Messrs. Parker. And a
description of these primitive Calendars is given by Plot in his
_Natural History of Staffordshire_, 1686, pp. 418-432, where there
is an engraving of a Clog which was still in use in Staffordshire at
that time.
38. Eight small wooden tablets, apparently a pocket-edition of a
Clog-Almanack, with very quaint figures.
Given by Archbp. Laud.
