PERUKES AND PERIWIGS
_“As to a Periwigg, my best and Greatest Friend begun to find me with
Hair before I was Born, and has continued to do so ever since, and I
could not find it in my Heart to go to another.”
_
—“Diary,” JUDGE SAMUEL SEWALL, 1718.
_A phrensy or a periwigmanee
That over-runs his pericranie._
—JOHN BYRON, 1730 (circa).
