From Encyclopedia Americana.
Q0R$ET;
An article of dress, (especially iotesded to
presenre or display the beauties of the fe
male form. Its ama appears. to have been
derived from its pxctiliar actioir of tighten
ing or compressing the hodj, and may be
compounded of the French words corps and'
serrcr. j The influence of female charms, a
raong civilized people, has, in all ages, been
extensive ontl -.benVCciaJ, anw the sex have
always regarded the possessii of beatii)' as
their richest endowment, and thought its ac
quisition to be cheaply made at any expense
of fortune. To this cause inay be attribu
ted the origin of the cosmetit arts, with their
countless baneful and innocent prescriptions,
for restoring smoothnes3 to ie skin, and re
viving the delicate roses upon cheeks too
rudely visited by j sickness: or time. The
preservationitor production of beauty of form t
as even more admired than mere regularity
of features, or from being, apparently, more
attainable by art,' rcceived-im early and am
ple share of attention, and has largely exer
cised the ingenuity of the fair aspirants for
love and admiration. - It- is our office now
to aid them to the j utmost in attaining their
wishes, by indicating the true principles up
on which the corset should be constructed,
and the attention necessary, to secure all the
advantages of its application To prevent
the forni from too early showing the inroads
of time; to guard it from slight inelegancies,
resulting, from improper position, or the char
acter o exterior drapery ; to secure the
beauteous proportions of the bust from com
pression or displacement ; and, at once, a
grceably to displa' the, general contour of
the figure, without, impeding the graceful
ness of its motions, or the gentle undulations
caused hy natural respiration,1 are the legiti
mate objects of the' corset. For this pur-
pnse, it should be composed of tho smooth
est and most elastic materials, should be ac
curately adapted to the individual weafcrso
that no point. may receive undue pressure,
and should never he drawn so tieh

iousthat such corsets should he entirely
destitute of -those barbarous innovations of
tcel and whalebone, which, by causing dis
ease, have thrown them into disrepute, and
which, under nO circumstances, can add to
the value of the instrument," when worn br
well formed individual. ! Such hurtful ap
pliances were first ! resorted to by the ugly,
deformed or 'diseased, who, having no natu
ral pretensions of figure pleased themselves
with the. hope of being able, hy main strength,
exerted upon steel-ribbed, whaleboned and
podded corsetsj to squeeze themselves into.
delicate proportions. , If, however, it he re
membered, that the use of corsets is to pre
serve and display a fine figure, not to make
one, and that they are to he secondary to a
judicious course of diet and exercise, it will
be readily perceived that . such injurious a-
gents are utterly uncalled for in their com
position. By selecting a material propor
tioned, in its thickness and elasticity, to the
size, age &,c. of the wearer, and by a pro
per employment of quilting and wadding,
they may be made of any proper or allowa
ble degree of stiffness. If it be then accu
rately fitted to the shape of the individual,
and laced no tighter than to ! apply it com
fortably, all the advantages of tho corset may
he full v obtained. I Cut such, unfortunately,
is not the course generally pursued, juadies
purchase corsets of the most fashionable ma
kers, and of the most fashionable patterns
and materials, regardless of the peculiarities
of their own figures, which may require a
construction and material of very different
description. ; Hence it ptten ! huppcns that
females, naturally endowed with fine forms,
wear corsets designed for such as are dispro
portionately thick! or thin and destroy the
graceful case of their movements, by hedg
ing themselves in j the steel and whalebone
originally intended to reduce the super-a
bundant corpulence of some . luxurious dowa
ger. As no two human figures, are precise
ly alike, it is absolutely; requisite that the
corset should he suited with the minutest ac
curacy to the wearer; and a naturally good
figure cannot derive advantage from any cor
set hut one constructed and adapted in the
manner above indicated. Slight irregulari
ties or defects may he remedied or rendered
inconsnicuous. by iudicious application of
waddinfr, or bv interposing an additiona
thickness bf tfie cloth. But it; should ho re
membercd that certain chances occur-to the
female frame, , after the cares of maternity
have commenced, which are absolutely un
avoidable. Among these, the general en
largement or filling op of the figure is the
most observable, but is neven productive o
inelegance, unless it take place very dispro
portionately. The undue enlargement of the
bust and waist isost dreadful, and the at
tempt to restrain thekdevcloperaent by mere
force, has led to the roost pernicious abuse
of the corset.. There is no dbuht but that
a judicious fitted crrset, whose object should
be to support and gently compress, might, in
such cases, be advantageously worn; but, at
the same time, it must be thoroughly under
Stood, that the corset can be really benefi
cial when combined with a proper attention
to diet and exercise. Thus many ladies,
who dread the disfigurement produced by
obesity, and constantly wear - the most un
yielding and uncomfortable corsets, lead an
entirely inactive life, and indulge in rich and
luxurious food. ; Under such circumstances,
it is vain to hope that beauty df figure can
be maintained by corsets, or that they can
effect any other purpose than that of cram
ping and restraining the movements, and
causing discomfort to the wearer. On the
other hand, proper exercise, and abstinence
from all but the simplest food, would enable
the corset to perform its part to the greatest
advantage. There is another error, . in re
lation to corsets, as prejudicial aS it is gene
ral, and calling for the' serious attention of
all those concerned in the education ofyoung
ladies. This 1 error is the belief that cirls
just approaching their majority should be.
constantly kept under the influence of. cor-1
sets, in order to form their figures. They
arc therefore subjected to a discipline of
strict lacing, at a period when, of all others,
its tendency is to produce the most exten
sive mischief. pAt this time, all the organs
of the body are in a state of energetic aug
mentation ; and interference 'with the pro
per expansion of any one set is productive of
permanent injury to the whole. So far, from
making a fine form, the tendency
is directly
the reverse, since the restraint of the cor sets
detrimentally interferes with the perfection
of the frame. The muscles, being com
pressed and held inactive, neither acquire
their due size nor strength : and a stiff, awk
ward carriage, with a thin, flat, ungraceful,
inelegant, person, is the" too frequent result
of such injudicious treatment. The corset

shows that the disposition evinced hy the

beauties. We find among them rudiments1
of the, corset, in the bandages' which they)
wore around the chest, for. the purpose ofJ
