Excerpt from The Journal of Health, Vol. 1: September 9, 1829
The question asto' grace and this point, will probably be decided in favour of the Romans. That the cravat by no means contributes to the beauty of the figure, will he. Confessed by every individual of taste, and hence the best mas ters in sculpture and painting, endeavour, whenever itis pos sible, to free the neck from it in their busts' and portraits.
That it is not essential to health, even in our uncertain cli mate, is also evinced by the fact, that in the female sex, those parts of the neck and throat which in man are enveloped with so much care by numerous folds of muslin or cambric, are left uncovered with impunity during all seasons: on the contrary, the custom of covering the neck too warmly, it is more than probable, is not unfrequently the cause of disease.
