To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" And often did she look On that which in her hand she bore, In velvet bound and broidered o'er — Her breviary book." Marmion.
When books were regarded as precious treasures, and the purchase of a single volume involved as much outlay as a rare painting, before the art of printing became established, the caskets that held such valuable possessions were deemed worthy of much labor and expense.
Rare old carved ivory, gold and silver plates, and precious stones, were often used on book-covers; and... the most ancient existing speci- men of this gorgeous style of book-making is written in silver and gold letters on a purple ground. Rich and curious devices were often wro light with the needle on the velvet, or brocade, which last became more exclusively the fashionable material for binding.
The new passion for books which was at its height in Queen Eliza- beth's day made the ornamentation of book-covers a favorite employ- ment of the high-born dames of England. A book of rhetoric of that time has been preserved as much for the sake of the outside as for its contents.
