. In addition, every
important branch of this wide industry is liberally illustrated,
and the description, although not severely technical, is
sufficiently so to enable students, or those with no previous
knowledge of the subject, to follow the operations intelligently,
and to become more or less acquainted with the general routine
of jute manufacture. As a matter of fact, the work forms a medium
of study for textile students, and a suitable introduction to the
more detailed literature by the authors on these textile subjects.
