Note 227-1 — Chapter II
John J. (John Joseph) Lalor translation
The use of window-glass in churches in England dates from 674, in private houses from 1180. (Anderson, Origin of Commerce, s. a.) Even in 1567, it was so rare that during the absence of the lords from their country seats, the panes were taken out and stored for safe keeping. (Eden, State of the Poor, I, 77.) As to how Scotland developed in this respect still later, see Buckle, History of Civilization in England, II, 172.
