Third edition (1881) of the catalogue of the lace collection at the South Kensington Museum, begun by Mrs. Bury Palliser and revised and enlarged by Alan S. Cole. A long introduction surveys the history, techniques, terminology and regional centres of lace-making, followed by country-by-country catalogue entries (Italian, Belgian, Flemish, Dutch, French, Spanish, English and Irish, German, Danish, Swedish, Russian, Cretan, Maltese and others). Each entry gives the object type, technique, origin, date, dimensions, source and register number. The book also has a list of books on lace, a list of lace photographs, a table of reference from register numbers to pages, a general index and about 20 photographic plates.

Fourth edition (1902) of Mrs. Bury Palliser's classic history of lace, revised and rewritten under the editorship of M. Jourdain and Alice Dryden. It opens with chapters on needlework, cut-work and the origins of lace, then surveys needle and bobbin lace country by country: Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Flanders, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, England, Ireland and Scotland. Later chapters cover machine-made lace and bobbin net. The book has many photographic plates and engraved figures of laces, portraits showing lace in costume, and an appendix bibliography of early pattern books, such as Vinciolo, plus a full index.

A short illustrated article from The Magazine of Art, described as the last paper written by Mrs. Bury Palliser, sketching the early history of lace. It traces lace from convent work and open-work embroidery through cut-work, lacis, point coupé, drawn-work and reticella, and discusses Renaissance pattern books such as Vinciolo's. Illustrations show Venetian point, Reticella (Greek lace from Zante), Passement au fuseau and Point coupé from Vinciolo.
