THE DRESS OF OLD-TIME CHILDREN
_“Rise up to thy Elders, put off thy Hat, make a Leg”_
—“Janua Linguarum,” COMENIUS, 1664.
_“Little ones are taught to be proud of their clothes before they can
put them on.”_
—“Essay on Human Understanding,” LOCKE, 1687.
_“When thou thyself, a watery, pulpy, slobbery Freshman and newcomer on
this Planet, sattest mewling in thy nurse’s arms; sucking thy coral,
and looking forth into the world in the blankest manner, what hadst
thou been without thy blankets and bibs and other nameless hulls?”_
—“Sartor Resartus,” THOMAS CARLYLE, 1836.
