Press Opinions. 



"A long-felt want in the weaving industry lias been supplied by the issue of a cheap volume 

 deaJing with the subject." Belfast Evening Telegraph. 



"The work has been clearly translated from the German and published with suitable 

 illustrations. . . . The author has dealt very practically with the subject." Bradford D.iily 

 Temyraph. 



"The book, which contains a number of useful coloured diagrams, should prove invaluable 

 to the student, and its handy form will enable it to become a companion more than some cum 

 brous work." Cotton ractory Times. 



"The book has been prepared with great care, and is most usefully illustrated. It is a capital 

 'text-book for use in the weav ing schools or for self-instruction, while all engaged in the weaving 

 'industry will find its suggestions helpful." Northern- Daily Telegraph. 



"The various systems are treated in a careful manner: also the different 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 Whi^. 



' It will be found most useful by those who have not time to go through the large standard 

 work, and the volume may be aptly described as a nutshell of power-loom weaving. Yarn 

 Tiumbering according to various systems is dealt with, and conversion tables included, and we 

 .have no hesitation in commending the book to our readers." Oldhani Standard. 



" The ' inside ' managers of our textile mills in which the work is complex or greatly varied, 

 atsd 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 advantage-, 

 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 Ne^'-i. 



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

 student of the weaving industry ought to consider as a minimum necessary for his thorough 

 comprehension of his 'future profession. The handiness and variety of the information com- 

 prised in Section III., dealing with the numbering and reeling of yarns empjoyed 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 under- 

 stood. . . .' 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 over- 

 loaded with details, and he manages to compress in a book of some 150 pages all that one cun 

 .possibly wi.sh.to know about the different parts of the machinery, whether of English or foreign
