What misfortune had made him bald so early-if to be bald early in life be a misfortune-I cannot say; but he had lost the hair from the crown of his head, and had preferred Wiggery to baldness.
"The Claverings"
Anthony Trollope
You see, we have done with Wiggery of all kinds; and if one of our judges were to wear such an appendage, he'd be taken for a merry-andrew, and the court would become a kind of show-box-instead of such arrangements producing with us solemnity, they would produce nothing but laughter, and the greatest possible irregularity.

Yes-yes-that may do for Englishmen very well; but, I guess, it would not go down here-no, no, Americans are a little more enlightened than to stand that kind of Wiggery.
