A privately printed 1905 catalogue of the old lace collection formed by Anna Dike Scott (Mrs. Thomas A. Scott) and then held by her daughter Mary Scott Newbold. It has an introduction by Samuel Bridge Dean and a preface on the history of lace. The numbered entries are grouped by type: Venetian, Burano, Genoese, Milanese, Point de France, Alençon and Argentan, Brussels, Guipure de Flandres, Binche, Mechlin, Trolle Kant, Valenciennes, Spanish, Manila and Chantilly. Each entry gives period, a description of the pattern and ground, and dimensions. Short essays introduce each lace type, and plates show selected pieces. A glossary of lace terms and a list of terms for making Point d'Alençon end the volume.
