Synopsis

Excerpt from Practical and Descriptive Essays on the Art of Weaving<br/><br/>HE motives which induced me to undertake this work, have been shortly stated in the Prospectus, which has been circulated. The great extent to which the manufacture of almost every species of cloth has been carried in this country, undoubtedly renders it an object of the first national importance; and an apology for attempting a collection of facts relative to this business, which, although extensively known, have never been collected and recorded, seems hardly necessary.

The author delves into the different materials used in weavingââ âwool, silk, flax, and cottonââ âand the unique properties that each brings to the fabric.
