Embroidered

"The very embroidered arras, which hangs yon pavilion, is worthy to be observed; but the artificers here, who display their curious works in our native metals, deserve high praise."

"The man of business at his desk, the mechanic in his workshop, the idler on his couch, the man of letters in his study, has but to turn for a brief interval to these Lives, and he will behold, for every period and age, the very embroidered and moving scene that he has been seeking to understand and to sympathise with, in a way, in so far as the effect and the cause are concerned, not unlike that which Shakspeare's historical plays, and Walter Scott's historical romances, produce upon the vivid imagination."
