_Sleekstone, Meaning of_ (Vol. iii., p. 241.; Vol. iv., p. 394.; Vol. v.,
p. 140.).--I can confirm what R. C. H. says respecting this word, having
had one in my possession. It was of glass, of the same shape as described
by R. C. H., and was used for giving a gloss to silk stockings. It is
called here (Demerary) a _sleeking stone_.
