Excerpt from Costume in England: A History of Dress Ancient authorities and ancient delineations are solely confided in, and in all instances the authorities fully quoted. As far as possible, facsimiles of the original delineations are given, though sometimes glaring errors of drawing may be corrected; but this as little as neces sary: and no change of position has been attempted, by which the general effect of the costume, and its form, might be mis represented. All the drawings have been made upon the wood for the engraver by myself, and executed under my own su perintendence, and a great number consists of specimens now for the first time engraved; but in all instances each illustration has been copied when practicable from the original, whether engraved before or not.

Excerpt from British Costume During XIX Centuries (Civil and Ecclesiastical) With some notable exceptions the representation of historical costume upon the stage is still almost in its ih fancy, so far as the periods anterior to the Tudor are con cerned, and this is most sincerely to be deplored, inasmuch as mediaaval costume has a charm and grace of its own which is quite unknown to post-reformation dress. By actual ex perience I have found upon more than one occasion that an audience pays much more critical and appreciative attention to a play which is costumed strictly in accordance with historical detail, and as such is duly advertised, than to one dressed in a pot-pourri of stage dresses, which are invariably a rechauffe of costumes authentic, conjectural, and mythical.
