ent looms and their manufacture, as well as the whole
processes of the work. Yarn numbering according to various systems,
with conversion tables and numerous coloured diagrams, materially
assist to a clear comprehension of the subject."--_Northern Whig._

"The 'inside' managers of our textile mills in which the work is
complex or greatly varied, and where yarns of different materials
are in use, will find this work convenient for reference in case of
novelty or difficulty. We may also say the same in relation to the
textile student. Its description of the parts of the loom and their
functions will be of use to the latter, being of the most
elementary kind."--_Textile Mercury._

"The author attempts to fill a gap in weaving literature caused by
the neglect of many obscure points connected with the industry. A
short review is given of the power-loom as a whole, followed by a
description of the different parts of the machinery with their
advantages and defects.... The book is severely technical, but must
on that account be very valuable to the pupil who is determined to
master this industrial art."--_Cheshire County News._

"It is clear and concise, and gives just that knowledge in quality

of yarns employed in the various systems in different countries,
struck us as particularly useful."--_North British Daily Mail._

"This work brings before weavers who are actually engaged in the
various branches of fabrics, as well as the technical student, the
different parts of the general run of power-looms in such a manner
that the parts of the loom and their bearing to each other can be
readily understood.... The work should prove of much value, as it
is in every sense practical, and is put before the reader in such a
clear manner that it can be easily understood."--_Textile Industries._

"The book under notice is intended as an instructor to those
engaged in power-loom weaving, and, judging by its compilation, the
author is a thorough master of the craft. It is not overloaded with
details, and he man
