\paragraph{J.E. Franklin}
No relation to Benjamin Franklin. J.E. Franklin published an \Title{Introduction to the Knowledge of the Seraphim, or Musical Glasses} in 1813. It was a method for playing thirty upright glasses, and includes a selection of popular songs. He also offered Seraphims (musical glasses) for sale, and elicited a comment from a reviewer in the \Title{Gentleman's Magazine}\footnote{vol.84, part 1, p.372}: ``We think 15 gns not a very moderate price for this fragile instrument.''
