4.9/5 (30621 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Influence of Clothing on HealthThese few preliminary remarks appear necessary, since the present chapter deals solely with but this one aspect of dress, and there are always difficulties and pitfalls in the way of a study of one especial attribute of a matter. These difficulties assume in the main a twofold character: the tendency to exalt the special subject to a spurious and exaggerated position, on the one hand; and the difiiculty, on the other, of discussing it apart from the perhaps more potent inﬂuences that surround it. In the first place, those who would consider dress solely from a hygienic stand-point, and who would permit no inﬂuences to act in the selecting and fashioning of attire other than the rigid laws of health supplied, would rob dress of its most valued attractions. They would render it expressionless, and, to a multitude of people, almost purposeless. To them a garment of monastic simplicity would serve both for the apparel of every day and for the costume of State occasions. They would annihilate Fashion, and substitute a form in dress that would vie in monotony with the familiar attire of the human occupants of a child's Noah's ark.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
