It was at one time - and for a considerable time - the author's duty to travel from knitting mill to knitting mill; and he was struck by the general loss to the industry due to lack of knowledge of what constituted good general practice in the knitting room. In one mill the yarn was too heavy for the gage, in another it was too light; in one the needle speed was too high, and in another it was too low. The situation seemed to be well expressed by a passage in Polibio's charming account of the naval battles of the Romans and Carthagenians, a little book which was sometimes carried for pastime on those travels: "I have recorded these things in order that those who shall read our history may know that there are available to men two means of guidance.

Certainly the first is more powerful, but not without danger to him who experiences it; the second, although it may not be so potent, is much more excellent on the score of being free from any danger. For which reason no one who can help it follows the first method which involves suffering and danger. But every one voluntarily desires the latter, because by this, without danger he is able to shape his course."

This book enables the knitter to shape his course by basing it on the experience of others. The rules given herein are derived from voluminous notes made during many years and from extensive experimental work with different gages, yarns and stitches in order to round out the information collected in the various mills of the country.
