Head-Gear, Antique and Modern

Synopsis

The object of this work is to give an idea of the fashions in head-gear of ancient and modern times, which to most people are very interesting. To obtain anything like a correct description thereof, it is necessary to consult not only history, but also laws, poems, and biographies. For this, few have opportunity or inclination; and this work is an earnest endeavor to supply in a condensed form what I have found to be a desideratum; and I believe it contains a correct description of styles not to be found in any other work, and no statement is made without the most patient study and research.
