It is allowed on all hands, that the primitive way of breaking eggs,
before we eat them, was upon the larger end; but his present majesty's grandfather,
while he was a boy, going to eat an egg, and breaking it according to the ancient practice,
happened to cut one of his fingers.  Whereupon the emperor his father published an edict,
commanding all his subjects, upon great penalties, to break the smaller end of their eggs.
. . .
It is computed that eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death,
rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end.
Many hundred large volumes have been published upon this controversy:
but the books of the Big-endians have been long forbidden.
