COTTON SPINNING AND WEAVING. A PRACTICAL AND THEORETICAL TREATISE. Originally published in 1883. In compiling this Work, the Author's endeavour has been to put before the student, in as simple, practical, and interesting a form as possible, an epitome of the art of cotton Spinning, coupled with a few hints and remarks, which it is hoped may be useful to those aspiring to the important and responsible position of managing the various branches of this great industry. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
