To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A learned Scotch professor informed me, on my pointing out this passage, that white wine was used for these purposes. They also made a bath of milk. Elder beauties bathed in wine, to get rid of their wrinkles; and perhaps not without reason, wine being a great astringent. Unwrinkled beau- ties bathed in mUky to preserve the softness and sleekness of the skin. Our venerable beauties of the Elizabethan age were initiated coquettes; and the mysteries of their toilette might be wt^rtb unveiling.
Th...e reign of Charles 11. was the dominion of FrencH fashions. In some respects the taste was a Uttle lighter, but the moral effect of dress, and Digitized by VjOOQIC ANECDOTES OF FASHION. US which no doubt it has^was much worse. The dress of this French queen was very inflammatory ; and the nudity of the beauties of the portrait* painter, Sir Peter Lely, has been observed. The queen of Charles II. exposed her breast and shoulders without ev^i the glass of the lightest gauze; and the tucker, instead of standing up on her bosom, is with hcentious boldness turned down, and lies upon her stays.
