Title: A Treatise on the Art of Weaving, with calculations and tables for .. manufacturers. Eleventh edition.
Description: London, Blackie 1857. Octavo publisher's cloth (spine repaired); xiv,518pp, frontispiece and 14 folding plates, diagrams. ¶ First published in 1824 this edition seems remarkably unchanged since the sixth, 1839, edition and remains early industrial with a short final chapter on the power loom (illustrated on the last plate). Obviously well regarded, all editions seem to have been used to death with most likely libraries holding only a scattering of editions in often imperfect copies.

Keywords: technology trades weaving textiles manufactures c19th England
