Womankind in Western Europe, From the Earliest Ages to the Seventeenth Century. By Thomas Wright, M.A., F.S.A.
Illustrated with numerous Coloured Plates and Wood Engravings.
“It is something more than a drawing-room ornament. It is an elaborate and careful summary of all that one of our most learned antiquaries, after years of pleasant labour on a very pleasant subject, has been able to learn as to the condition of women from the earliest times. It is beautifully illustrated, both in colours—mainly from ancient illuminations—and also by a profusion of woodcuts, portraying the various fashions by which successive ages of our history have been marked.”
