Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Her Majesty, the Queen of England, may find both interest and instruction. Cotton may have its probable limitation with regard to its users, but linen is universal and cosmopolitan, being found in some form or other alike in the cottage of the labourer and in the palace of the sovereign. In this work I have endeavoured to give a popular and just technical enough not to be beyond the depths of common understanding description of the linen manufacturing system in all its phases. It has been necessary in doing so to dip back somewhat into the past, but these chapters in the evolution of a highly important industry have not been dealt with in any dreary fashion, as bygone history too often is, but rather that the reader will get a good grasp of the foundations and evolution of the trade. The description of cloth production, in several sections, leads up to a short account of the system of marketing. Naturally, also, it has been deemed essential to sketch, albeit briefly, the work carried on in the technical education of the linen operatives, the conditions of housing and work with wages in general.
