First edition thus. Rubbing to foredge rear cover; else a very good copy in original gilt-stamped gray cloth. Grierson's description of spinning and weaving practiced by the East Indians. The "contrast" is between these early hand methods and the technologically advanced methods used by Acadia. The contrast, however, between present day Lawrence Mass., now that Acadia and all mills like it are dead, and the worst village in India has grown less noticeable.
