PREFACE.

It was my intention that this Series should have comprised D’Oyley’s and Anti-Macassars, but at the request of many ladies who have honored me with their patronage, I have been induced to present Collars, &c. in this the Fourth Series, and defer the publication of the other articles to the Fifth, which will appear shortly. Sincerely acknowledging the approbation and support received from my numerous correspondents, I shall be most happy in return to afford all the information in my power, and elucidate difficulties, should any arise in the following directions.
