Extract

The female ornaments of dress which Mr. Douce has the honour of laying before the Society were presented to him by an old lady, in whose family they had always remained. They consist of a purse, a pin-cushion, and a pair of knives, the latter of which cannot be better illustrated than by the following extract: from a note on a passage in Romeo and Juliet, by our worthy member George Steevens, Esq.
