Novel Use of Handkerchiefs.

With the Jacobite revolution of 1745 In England Pelham, bethinking himself of an old device which had served the government so well in the most critical period of Anne’s reign, caused to be printed on several thousand handkerchiefs portraits of those of the young pretender’s adherents who had escaped and were in hiding. These portraits, sent all over the country and bung upon every blank wall, led to the capture and'execution of many fugitives.
