Reseña del editor:

English ecclesiastical embroidery is universally recognized, it seemed to me that there was considerable interest in the development of the secular work, especially during the Tudor andS tuart periods. With regard to pre-T udor embroidery I am much indebted to an interesting article by Mr. A lan S. Cole, in the Art Workers Quarterly of A pril, 1906. My thanks are due to the owners of the pieces of embroidery illustrated in this book, who have kindly given me permission to have them photographed; toM r. J. T. Herbert Bailey for permission to reprint a portion of a chapter upon Stuart embroidery that appeared in the Connoisseur, and for the loan of several blocks; and to the editor of theB urlington for permission to reprintS ixteenth Century Embroidery, with emblems, and for the use of two blocks; and toM essrs. Lenygon for the loan of the colour block of the frontispiece. M. JOURDAIN.
