OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"The author has studied the human body accurately, and used the knowledge thus acquired to promote the health and comfort of her own sex. The book is well illustrated, and beautifully printed and bound; and notwithstanding its limited details, one cannot read it without feeling that the author is perfectly master of her subject. Every mother should possess it."—Morning Advertiser, September 24th, 1856.
"That Madame Caplin possesses the requisite knowledge to adapt the Corset scientifically to the wearer, and understands the principles to be observed in clothing, few, if any, who peruse these pages will be inclined to doubt. The book may therefore be commended to the notice of the female world, and more particularly that part of it to which is entrusted the responsibilities of maternity, the requirements of the sex in regard to clothing being set forth from the cradle to old age."—Sun, September 22nd, 1856.
