A Treatise on the Art of Weaving, with Calculations and Tables for the Use of Manufacturers

This early work on Weaving was originally published in 1831, The Egyptians were the first civilized people of whom there are any authentic records, and to them the neighbouring nations were chiefly indebted for there knowledge in the arts and sciences: among which was the art of weaving, especially of fine linen, for which there were widely famed. This is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject and will appeal to any historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's 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.
