Excerpt from Rees's Cyclopedia (1819) on hats. It describes how beaver felt hats were made: preparing the fur, bowing, basoning, fulling, blocking, dyeing, stiffening and finishing. It also summarizes British laws on hat retailing, duties and exports, and notes briefly that women's hats were made from various materials and that the hat was a symbol of the cardinalate.
