本书目录中有三句座右铭，其中两句来自“Sartor Resartus”，一首来自米开朗基罗。他们对生活与衣服、身体、建筑及其产品之间的类比进行了详细的阐述。作者的观点是，心理学决定不再将其领域内的任何事物视为微不足道，而现在被认为不重要的服装可以被认为具有种族意义，作为人类出现时开始新路线的进化阶段。赫德先生将服装和建筑视为一种进化力量的平行表现，从新石器时代编织和使用编织的荆条做墙壁开始，经过埃及、美索不达米亚、克里特岛、古典时期和历史时期，一直到当今的钢筋混凝土建筑和现代服装，但这些地方的发展显然已经停止。尽管这个类比看起来有些异想天开，但假设在两种截然不同的媒体中表现出来的种族特征在条件允许的情况下仍然可能表现出一定的风格趋同，这或许并不夸张。然而，在某个阶段之后，无论服装或建筑如何发展，所有现代社会的标准化或多或少都不太可能为种族个性提供太多发挥。 （今天和明天系列。）Pp。 156.（伦敦：Kegan Paul and Co., Ltd.；纽约：E.

THREE mottoes face the table of contents of this book, two from “Sartor Resartus” and one from Michael Angelo. The analogies they draw between life and clothes, the body, and architecture and its products, are worked out in detail. The author takes the line that psychology having resolved to treat nothing in its province as insignificant, clothing, now regarded as unimportant, may be assumed to be of racial significance, as a phase of the evolution which started on new lines when man emerged. Mr. Heard regards both clothes and architecture as parallel manifestations of an evolutionary force, tracing them from the beginning of weaving and the use of woven wattle for walls in the neolithic age, through Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, the classical period and historical times, down to the ferroconcrete building of to-day and modern costume, where development apparently has ceased. Fanciful though the analogy may seem, it is perhaps not extravagant to assume that racial character manifesting itself in two media so entirely different may still exhibit a certain convergence in style so far as conditions allow. After a certain stage, however, the standardising, more or less, of all modern communities is unlikely to offer much play for racial individuality, however either clothing or architecture may develop.Narcissus: an Anatomy of Clothes.GeraldHeardBy.
