Nashe, Thomas. (1599) Nashes Lenten Stuffe [Архівовано 3 серпня 2016 у Wayback Machine.] «Next, to draw on hounds to a sent, to a redde herring skinne there is nothing comparable.» (Since Nashe makes this statement not in a serious reference to hunting but as an aside in a humorous pamphlet, the professed aim of which is to extol the wonderful virtues of red herrings, it need not be evidence of actual practice. In the same paragraph he makes other unlikely claims, such as that the fish dried and powdered is a prophylactic for kidney or gallstones.)
