Abstract
THIS volume forms a natural complement to the official report on Indian silk by Prof. Maxwell Lefroy and Mr. E. C. Ansorge recently published by the Government of India. In the official report the Indian silk trade is dealt with primarily from the Indian trade point of view; in the volume now under notice Indian silk is considered in its relation to the markets of Great Britain and France. As is well known, raw silk from India at the present day does not occupy a high place in the estimation of manufacturers, and it was with the object of ascertaining the exact requirements of the British and French markets that the present investigation was undertaken by Mr. Rawlley with the financial assistance of the Carnegie Research Trust and the India Office.
The Silk Industry and Trade: A Study in the Economic Organisation of the Export Trade of Kashmir and Indian Silks, with Special Reference to their Utilisation in the British and French Markets.
By Ratan C. Rawlley. Pp. xvi + 172. (London: P. S. King and Son, Ltd., 1919.) Price 10s. 6d. net.
