A dictionary-style encyclopedia entry on lace from the Encyclopaedia Perthensis. It gives the word's senses (a cord, a snare, a plaited fastening string, ornamental woven thread, gold or silver textures) with literary quotations, then describes commercial lace made on a pillow with spindles and pins, and blond lace made with bobbins. It notes lace manufacture in Buckinghamshire, imports from Flanders, and a prohibition on importing gold and silver lace.
