To the NcUhtjt Lndm and Gentry England.
My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
dela Papillote, metdiahtpv
nfiSjfggSyi rake-maker, hair-cutter, and frifeur, c
ducatcd under .■* disciple of, that ever
* a Youpee at Paris, now begs leave to ac-
I uaint y° that having been animated by
the riling taste of the nobility and gentry
. f °f England, he is resolved, out of pure
love to them, to abandon his native country, in order to fet
tle in London, where he proposes to arrive about the mid
dle of September. His innate modesty would fain oblige
him to call a veil over his accompliftunents, but justice con
strains him to wound that modesty, andtopublilh them for
die good of mankind and the publick benefit; which obli
ges him to inform you, that he fabricates all kinds of pe
rukes, for the clergy, lawyers, physicians, military, mercan
tile, and country gentlemen, in a moft exquisite, new, cu
rious, and extraordinary taste: As for example, toeedefi
aftica! perukes he gives a moft demure fanCtified air: He
confers on the tie wigs of the law an appearance of great fn
gacity and deep penetration 1 and on those of the faculty of
phyfick, he calls a solemnity aad gravity that seem equal to
the profoundeft knowledge: His military smarts are ntounted
in a curious maimer, quite unknown to every workman but
himfelf; he throws into them what he calls the animating buckle ,
which gives the wearer a moft warlike fiercenefs. He has like
wise invented a species of major or brigadier, or lieutenant
colonel wigs, for the better fort of citizens and tradesmen,
which by adding a tail to them (that may be taken off or put
on at pleasure) may serve extremely well when they eitner
do duty in the militia, (as greatly lettiog off a red coat and
Mi) or go to a company V feaft. He also flatters himjdf
upon hitting the taste of the country gentlemen and fox-hun
ters, by his Ihort cut bobs of nine hairs on a fide.
For the gentlemen of the beaumonde, whole taste and tv
lents lie in dress, whether templars, clerks, dancing-mat
ters, or journeymen mercers, he prepares perukes fmed in
the following taste and faftuoas, all now ia great esteem at
Paris, vis. cn tiles de pigeon, [pigeons wings] ; ala comet
te, [the comet]; ala dioua-fteure, [the colly-flower]; a
I’oifeau royalle, [the royal bird]; en efcalier, [the (bur
cafe]; enechelle, [theladder]; enbrofle, [theßrufli]; en
do des Sanglier, [the wild boar’s back] j ala temple, [the
temple] j en rhinoceros, [the rhinoceros] j en pate de loupe
garrete, [the corded wolrs paw]; ala dragone, [the mi
dragon]; en rose, [the rofe]; en bequille, [the crutch] 3
en negligee, [the negligee]; ala chancelliere, [the chancel
lary ] ; a face coupee, [the cut bob]; en long, [the long
bobjj en boucle demi naturelle, [the half natural]; est
chaines, [the chain buckle]; ala bordage, [the corded
buckle]; en bond? detach ec, [the loose buckle]; ala Janfe
nifte, [the Jansenist bob]; en point, [the drop wig]; en
Efcargot, [thefnailbuckle]; en grain d'epinards, fthcfpin-
Wage feed]; en cue d’articheeux, [the artichoke bottom]:
and enoreilles d’epagneul, [the dog’s ears]. For young gen
tlemen of the law, who may not be troubled with much
practice, he has invented a tie peruke, the legs of which may
be put into a (mart bag during the vacation, and which, in
term time, may be reltored to its pristine form. He intends
to keep near three hundred of this fort always in readiness to
hire out occasionally.
He also makes white bobs which (it as dose as night caps,
very proper to be worn by young persons of diftin&ion, un
der Nivernois or water-proof hats, either when they choose
to mount the coach or chaise box, or w4k in the morning,
like their footmen in dijhabille.
For great ceconomifts, he will mfke perukes of calves tails
which he engages will last a long time. This*kind indeed
(as there is very little profit to be had by them) he only
