"In the numbers of the attractive work now before us, the perfection
to which engraving on wood has been carried is strikingly shown. The
amount of information conveyed in moderate compass, and at a most
trifling cost, renders this collection of examples of costume, of
decorative design, and of heraldry, highly acceptable. The minute
and faithful exactness with which the smallest details are
reproduced is a most valuable quality in these portraitures: their
variety is striking: selected, in great part, from memorials hitherto
unknown or imperfectly engraved, each number of M. Boutell's
collection might form the text of a monograph on mediaeval costume
in its three great divisions.--Military, Ecclesiastical, and
Secular."--_Archaeological Journal_, vol. vi. p. 91.
