To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His portrait is a capital example of the grave dress of the period, and is precisely that which was worn by the citizens and merchantmen of London.
Their flat cap surmounts his head, a coif made to tie beneath the chin com- pletely envelopes the hair, and he wears the long furred gown with hanging sleeves, so constantly seen upon all classes at this time, and which varied only in the better character of cloth and expensiveness of its fur-trimmings when worn by the wealthy. His gloves and dagger... denote the gentleman, and in no degree disturb the gravity of his general appearance.
In 1558, the lion-hearted Elizabeth ascended the throne. She dressed, of course, as her sister had dressed before her, and so did the ladies of her oaurt ; but the Queen, who could gather upwards of two thousand dresses of aU nations for her wardrobe, and highly resent the conduct of an over-zealous divine for preaching against excess in apparel before her and her court in St. Paul's, was not the lady to remain clothed like her grandmother.
