Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Papers and Other Miscellanies, Hitherto Unpublished or Uncollected, Vol. 2 of 2 It is a matter of amusement to an uninterested spectator like myself, to observe the in uence fashion has on the dress and deportment of its votaries, and how very quick they y from one extreme to the other. A few years since the rage was, - very high crowned hats with very narrow brims, tight neckcloth, tight coat, tight jacket, tight small-clothes, and shoes loaded with enormous silver buckles the hair craped, plaited, queued, and powdered in short, an air of the greatest spruceness and tightness diffused over the whole person.
