BY MARY G. HOUSTON
AND
FLORENCE S. HORNBLOWER
CONTAINING TWENTY-FIVE FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS,
SIXTEEN OF THEM IN COLOUR, AND SIXTY LINE
DIAGRAMS IN THE TEXT

If this work is to be kept within its limitations, it is naturally impossible to give a complete survey of all the varieties of the various styles.

Throughout the book, the illustrations are given by means of facsimiles of drawings by artists of the various centuries, so that a historic survey of the
History of Figure Drawing will be included.

INTRODUCTION

THE world, if we choose to see it so, is a complicated picture of people dessinga and undressing. The history of the world is composed of the chat of a little band of tailors seated cross-legged on their boards; they gossip across the centuries, feeling, as they should, very busy and important. Someone made the coat of many colours for Joseph, another cut into material for Elijah's mantle. Hundresd of illustraions in colour and black and white.

MY LORDS, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN,
IN offering this tribute of respect to the greatest power in the British Empire the power established upon, and supported by, highly cultivated human intellect, which embraces within its ample scope all that is valuable in thought, and practically useful and agreeable in action, connected with the interests of mankind, the author hopes that his meaning may not be mistaken.

PUBLISHERS' PREFACE.
The favourable reception accorded to M. Paul Lacroix's studies of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, has induced us to ask him to bring his work down to an epoch nearer to our own, so as to obtain a complete picture of French society from its origin, and that of the Monarchy, down to the date of 1789, which ushered in a new order of things.

9. DAME FASHION PARIS LONDON (1786-1912)  563 pages

BY JULIUS M. PRICE

WITH 155 COLOURED PLATES AND COPIOUS APPENDIX

IN
undertaking this work I must confess that I had no conception
of the magnitude of the task before me. Of works of reference on Costume, published in England, their number is legion, but all, without exception, treat the subject from its picturesque aspect only, and even then do not extend their information beyond a certain point. The periods usually covered present the familiar aspects which are, at the present date, but of historical interest.
