"Let me hasten to recommend to you a publication at this time in much request and which possesses much unique merit. It is entitled The Mirror of the Graces; or, The English Ladies' Costume…This book teaches the art of combining a delicate taste with a correct judgment, without either aiding our vanities or infringing on our duties…Read this work with attention, it is really excellent of its order
