A review from The Dial of the 1902 revised edition of Mrs. Bury Palliser's History of Lace, edited by M. Jourdain and Alice Dryden. The reviewer describes the book's country-by-country organization, its illustrations and antiquarian detail, and its weaker technical explanations for novices. She also discusses the social, religious, political and industrial history of lace, including decline and revival of lacemaking.
