Norris Herbert. Costume & Fashion. Volume II

London: J.M. Dent, 1924. — 485 p.The gratifying reception accorded to Volume I. of this History, particularly in America, has encouraged the publishers and others to suggest its continuation, here presented. Volume II. follows the same general plan as that used in the first volume, with certain modifications and considerable additions. In order to identify the period discussed with events and personalities familiar to the reader, the practice employed in Volume I., of prefacing each chapter with a list of contemporary historical events, is continued in this book. The accuracy of information given in the chapter on Heraldry, and the sections dealing with Chivalry, the Order of the Garter, the Order of the Bath, and Peers' Parliamentary Robes, is guaranteed by the fact that I am indebted for supervision of their details to Mr. G. Ambrose Lee, C.B., C.V.O., Clarenceux King-of-Arms, whose expert knowledge and kind assistance have been of the utmost value.
