A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As ladies wont To finger the fine needle and nyse thread. Faerie Queen. Needlework sublime. Cowper, The art of lace-makiiig has from the earliest times been so mixed up with that of needlework, it would be impossible to enter on the subject of the present work without giving some mention of the latter. From the first homely attempts of our mother Eve, we have, throughout theO ld Testament, constant mention of embroidery, of curtains of fine twined Unen wrought with needlework, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubims of cunning work. A gdn, the robe of the ephod was worked with pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, around the hem thereof. We have mention in Isaiah of womens cauls, of net8 of checker work inS olomon stemple, with pomegranates and other matters too numerous here to record. A holiab is specially recorded as the great embroiderer in blue, and the description of a virtuous woman in the Proverbs, who layeth her hands to the spindle, and clotheth herself in tapestry, and that of the kings daughter, in the Psalms, who shall be brought unto the king in Exodus xxvi. xxvii. Exodus xxviii. Chap. iii. 18. 1K ings vii. 17. Exodus xxxv. 35 Chap.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
