| 520 | _a"England in the Days of Old" by William Andrews is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into various aspects of the social and domestic life of England during earlier times, exploring customs, traditions, and societal norms that have shaped English culture. It serves as a companion to Andrews' previous work, "Bygone England," and aims to engage both general readers and antiquarians alike with its informative and entertaining narrative. The opening of the text presents an engaging discussion of wigs, detailing their historical significance and popularity during different periods, particularly the 17th and early 18th centuries. Andrews recounts how wigs were not merely fashion statements but integral to social customs, involving both men and women. He examines their evolution, the societal perceptions surrounding them, and the amusing anecdotes related to their use, such as Pepys' reflections on styling and wearing wigs, and the peculiarities of public officials' fashion. This introduction sets the tone for a broader exploration of England's customs and practices, inviting readers to reflect on the intriguing ways in which past cultural trends influence contemporary society.
