“It is a more thoughtful book than ‘If I were king,’ a harder book to write, a book with much subtle analysis, and quite probably McCarthy himself likes it better. It’s a question whether the public, fain to stay unjarred in their rose-colored dream of romantic passion, will agree with his possible estimate.”

4–33115.
Descriptive note in December, 1905.
“The chapter on uniforms in America, 1775–1800, is more complete than anything of the kind we have seen before, and the glossary of the nomenclature of dress, while it is hardly so full as that to be found in the ‘Cyclopaedia of costume,’ is curious and useful.”

“Elisabeth McClellan and Sophie Steel have written and illustrated a work invaluable for reference on the subject of dress in America. The pictures, often copied from originals yet extant, are beautiful; the portraits of governors most interesting; and the glossary of the odd language of dress—it rivals that of heralds in eccentricity—is extremely useful.”
