Abstract
MR. WILLIAMS is a somewhat eccentric writer, and by most people some of the notions set forth in this little book will be regarded as “fads.” He is generally able, however, to give a good reason for the opinions he advances, and much of his advice, although opposed to the rules of fashion, is sound and practicable. The subject is one which occupied the close attention of Count Rumford; and of his researches Mr. Williams, as he himself says, has made “free use.”
The Philosophy of Clothing.
By W. Mattieu Williams. (London: Thomas Laurie, 1890.)
