When I last had the honour to bring a Wardrobe Account to your notice, I prefaced my remarks with a short explanation of how the office of the Wardrobe, originally a store-house, gradually became one of the chief purchasing departments of the Royal Household. The principal document to which I shall draw your attention to-night shows the Wardrobe more in its original aspect; the materials and articles referred to were all handed out from store for a specific purpose, and no purchases are recorded. A search through the general accounts immediately before this special one would no doubt result in finding much of the material here dealt with and the price paid for it, but I thought it best to leave those accounts to be dealt with at some future time in their entirety.
