Abstract
SINCE the first edition of this book was reviewed in NATURE on December 13, 1894 (vol. li., p. 149), 130 pages and twenty-six new illustrations have been added. Some parts of the work have been rearranged and others enlarged. The sections dealing with dob-bies, Jacquards, figuring harnesses, card-cutting, picking, multiple shuttle boxes, letting off, taking up, beating up, loom adjustments, and reeds have all been extended; and those on gauze, lappets, and swivels have been rewritten. Descriptions of terry weaving, the automatic supply of weft to looms, and warp stop motions have been included in this edition, and also an index.
