 and shows ; otherwise, for so

• For the most part, manufacturers and retail dealers have their houses and shops separate ; but many, 

 it will be observed, fabricate and sell retail in their own houses, instead of shops ; others have shops and 

 dwelling-houses united. When, as in the present example, no shops are mentioned, or that the number 

 of shops in proportion to the number of houses enumerated is very small, it must be supposed that the 

 manufacture or trade is chiefly or entirely conducted in the private dwelling; when, on the other 

 hand, there are no houses, or very few houses in proportion to the number of shops mentioned, it must 

 be Inferred that the manufacturers or dealers reside in the back part of their shops, or in the upper story. 



The weaving of cotton cloths is carried on in the open air, in the yards adjoining their houses, or in 

 the mangoc groves, or other open spaces in and about the town. This class is generally supposed to have 

 been converted from Hinduism.
