Roxey Ann Caplin, Health and beauty — Appendix D (1864)
“ The object of these lectures is to illustrate the effects of clothing on the health and figure of the female sex. All the deformities of after-life are due, says the authoress, to nursing and clothing. The latter of these she endeavours to set right in this very useful little book, which ably exposes the mischief of tight-lacing and the other abuses to which ladies subject nature. Madame Caplin has had great experience, and her book has considerable literary merit to boot.—Morning Chronicle, Dec. ”
