Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. To many who are not workers, the Lace portion of. The Dictionary will, it is hoped, be especially interesting, as there will be found full particulars and numerous engravings of the various makes, both ancient and modern, and in _very many instances the most minute instructions for working them - for even some of the most prized of old laces can be successfully copied by all who have patience, leisure, and eyesight.
