Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Cyclopedia of Costume, or Dictionary of Dress, Including Notices of Contemporaneous Fashions on the Continent, Vol. 1 of 2: And a General Chronological History of the Costumes of the Principal Countries of Europe, From the Commencement of the Christian Era to the Accession of George the Third Why the trappings of the Earl of Derby's horse should have been emblazoned with these charges or badges, was a question difficult to answer; such a device as a lion with a man's head in a bycocket not appearing to have been borne by the Stanleys.
