About this title

Review:

"...Let me hasten to recommend to you, a publication at this time in much request, and which possesses much unique merit. It is entitled The Mirror of the Graces; or, The English Ladies' Costume. You will really be pleased with the book... This book teaches the art of combining a delicate taste with a correct judgment, without either aiding our vanities, or infringing on our duties... Read this work, with attention, it is really excellent of its order." --Ackermann's Repository, Volume 5, #29, May 1811
