Lipperheide 1849. An extraordinarily rare and most comprehensive work about
the costume of the ecclesiastical and secular orders. Vol. I and II contain the orders
of the Catholic Church, vol. Ill the secular orders.
The work is of particular American interest for including also the costume as it
was borne by the missionaries of the Catholic Church in the We st-Indies such
as the Bethlehemites (III, 396), the order of the Saint Virgin of Villa Vicosa in Brazil
(I, 8 seq.). Furthermore the Costume of the Cincinnatus-order in the United States
(III 371), the military order of St. Henry in Hayti (III, 397), order of Venezuela a. o.
Each plate represents two figures artistically drawn and finely coloured by hand.
A clean copy.

purpose was to set forth the claims of Pennsylvania in the protracted boundary dispute
with Maryland 1681 —1760. It is illustrated by an exact copy of the map by John
