A Treatise On The Art Of Weaving, With Calculations And Tables For The Use Of Manufacturers John Murphy

This early work on Weaving was originallly published in 1831, The egyptians were the first civilized people of whom there are any authentic records, and to them the neighbouring nations were chiefly indebted for there knowledge in the arts and sciences: among which was the art of weaving, especially of fine linen, for which there were widely famed. This is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject and will appeal to any historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and icreasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
