This was about 1814. Ed. ■ A description of Ireland, Leydeii, 1627, quoted by Gratianus Lucius. Acts of Parliament. ' Hist, of Ireland, 1571. LINEN. 275 were clad iu shirts of linen, worked with purple, after the manner of their country. " The use of linen appears to have been more common anion" the Gallic and German females, than amonc- the men. Beyond the Ehine, the females thought themselves most grand when dressed in fine linen. ' The vests of the German ladies were embroidered with purple.... '^ Whittaker says, the skiurd, or shirt, was derived from the Eomans ; but surely these linen vestments were shirts, to all intents and purposes. Lein is the Gaelic for this part of apparel. By the Cadurci, Caletes, Eutene, Bituriges, Morini, and throughout all Gaul, linen cloth and canvas for sails were manufactured. The Gauls and Britons pounded the flax, when spun, in a stone mortar with water ; and, when woven, it. Was beaten upon a smooth stone with broad clubs. The more frequently and forcibly, the whiter and softer it became ; and, to make the water more efficacious in cleansing, some put into it the roots of wild poppies and other herbs.
