Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Dress of the British Soldier, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time An officer of rank, who has served long in India, writes I hope you mean to suggest the expediency of allowing the general introduction of regimental white jackets for undress parade, and ordinary duties in India, for the officers as well as the soldiers. Another adds It is rather cruel upon the service to hand down to posterity the lavender-coloured trousers, which the unfortunate infantry are now condemned to wear, in addition to the shell jacket and the very ugly shako. From the different climates our army are obliged to serve in, it is impossible to combine utility with uniformity; good taste we can never expect.

To trace the origin of clothes would involve the discussion of many principles of psychological interest. What first prompted man to devising raiment? Was it the love of ornamentation - a quality so universal and so deeply seated as to seem like an instinct? Was it the desire for protection as man became more of a roving animal? Was clothing first adopted as a dis tinction by those who assumed superiority over their fellows? Was it the result of man contriving for himself rude habitations, instead of sheltering in the caves and holes of the earth?

Book excerpt: 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.
