If you consider there is any thing curious or amusing in the enclosed Drawings and Observations on Hats, you will oblige me by laying them before the Society of Antiquaries on some evening when their attention may not be directed to any more valuable Communication.

page 178 note s From a translation of Don Quevedon's Visions, 1656, the coptanck hat appears at that time to have been considered as old fashioned. “Ye can't see a high-crown’d hat, or a thread-bare cloak, &c. nay not so much as a reverend matron, well stricken in years, but presently ye cry this or that's of the mode or date of Queen Dick.”

page 184 note a Gervase Matkham (1607) has given a complete description of the Horseman's apparel, by recommending “a hat which will sit close and firme upon your heade, with an indifferent narrow verge or brim; so that, in the saults or bounds of the horse, it may neither through widenesse or unwieldinesse fall from your head, nor with the breadth of the brim fall into your eies, and impeach your sight, both which are verie grosse errors.”

page 189 note d Concerning pigtails and their antiquity, I suspect they are of a much later period than the reign of James the First or Charles the First. This absurd fashion continued till as late as the beginning of the present century, when by the good sense of the age they were nearly exploded.
In Plate XLII. is a sketch of a young Dragoon as he appeared about twenty-five years ago.
