| To the Reader | |
| "The Shoo-maker will make you Boots, Whole-Chase, Demi-Chase, or Bottines, etc." | |
| p. 91 | Botine (Fr.) A Buskin or Summer-boot; we otherwise call them Boots with quarters, which have strings and no Spurs, but a heel like a shoo on the out-side. |
| p. 162-3 | Cordiner, or Cordwainer, (from the French Cordvanier, or from the Lat. Corium, a skin and hide) a Shoo-maker, a Tanner, or Leather-dresser, a Currier. |
| Cordovan Leather, so called from Cordova, or Corduba, a City in Spain. In the Islands of Corsica and Sardinia, there is a beast called a Musoli, not found else-where in Europe, horned like a Ram, and skinned like a Stag; his skin carried to Corduba, and there dressed, makes our true Cordovan Leather. | |
| p. 187 | Demi-chase (Fr.) half-chase, or half-hunting boots; so called by the French, we call them Summer riding boots. |
| p. 279 | Galloches, or Galloshoes, (Fr.) wodden Shoes, or Pattens, made all of a piece, without any latchet or tie of leather, and worn in France by the poor Clowns in Winter. What our English Galloches are, and by whom worn, every one knows. |
| p. 476 | Paten (from the Fr. Patin, Br. pattyr, or rather grom the Greek πατεν, i. calcθ, because 'tis always trod upon) a kind of woodden-shoo with an iron bottom, well known. See Patin. |
| p. 705 | Whole-chase Boots, are whole hunting, or large riding boots; and Demichase are, with the French, half, hunting, or (as we call them) Summer riding Boots; though some of our Shoo-makers do ignorantly apply the word Demichase to a certain colour of the Leather. |
