Book excerpt: In Bygone London Life, antiquary and social historian G.L. Apperson gives us glimpses of a day-to-day London that was already long gone when his book was first published in 1903-the raucous, vibrant city of Elizabethan eating-houses, literary taverns, private museums, mincing Restoration fops, and rowdy Georgian rakes. Here are types and institutions from the late sixteenth to the early nineteenth centuries: poets and sedan-chair operators; coffee-house wits and night watchmen; "pretty fellows" and shoeblacks; kickshaws, macaronies, ordinaries, bucks and bloods, and cabinets of curiosities-a kaleidoscope of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century life for the historian, the historical novelist, or anyone who takes delight in the gone-but-not-forgotten past of a great modern city.

Excerpt: ...Canada has made us familiar with snow-shoes. Under the heading "Garments, vestures, etc.," there are some curious entries--such as " A hat-band of glasse spun into fine threads"; "A bracelet made of thighes of Indian flyes "; "A match-coat from Greenland of the intrails of fishes"; and "Russian stockens without heels." Some of the articles were of historical interest. The museum was said to contain Edward the Confessor's "knit gloves"; Henry VIII.'s " hawking-gloves, hawkeshoods, stirrups and dog's coller"; and Queen Anne Boleyn's "night-vayle embroidered with silver, and her silke-knit gloves." In the same section were " Choppenes for ladyes from Malta and Venice"; these were the very high pattens--almost stilts--upon which fashionable Venetian ladies walked, or rather tottered, when the seventeenth century was young. Some of these absurdities were worn eighteen inches high, the wearer's rank being indicated by the height of her "chopines." Walking was really impossible, and noble dames were to be seen supported on either side by attendants when they took their walks abroad. In his welcome to the players, Hamlet alludes to the absurd fashion: " By'r lady, your ladyship is nearer to heaven than when I saw you last, by-the altitude of a chopine"; but the "chopine" did not obtain much foothold in this country, although high heels had long been fashionable. In the section of the museum devoted to natural history there were many strange things to be seen. Some of the entries are almost unintelligible. What, for example, was a "gulo's legge " or a...
