Excerpt from The History and Principles of Weaving by Hand and by Power The Art of Weaving forms the most extensive and im portant part of the Textile Manufactures, whether considered on account of its commercial value or for its usefulness, variety, or beauty of its products. It also calls forth a greater number of mechanical appliances and ingenious contrivances than any other Art, and is on that account alone always a source of interest to the Engineer and the Mechanician, as well as to the Manufacturer and the Weaver. Formerly the Art depended almost entirely upon the handicraft skill of the weaver, and his contrivances were limited in their combinations to produce designs of any considerable extent. They were, also, cumbersome and complicated, and entailed an amount of labour and patience that would much astonish the weaver of the present day. But, by the introduction of the Jacquard Machine and the Power Loom during the present century, the whole system of weaving, with some few exceptions, has been changed, and practically become a New Art. During the same period the Lace Frame has been in vented, and by the application of the Jacquard apparatus to it for the production of figured lace, it has created an entirely new and important branch of manufacture. The numerous inventions that have led to this result seem to have culminated in this admirable machine, which for ingenuity is unsurpassed in the whole range of mechanism. Yet the Loom with its products, wherein the wealth of our Nation is folded up, and upon which we are so de pendent for personal comfort, health, and cleanliness, is far behind other important Arts and Manufactures in respect to treatises upon its varied processes. The few works that have appeared are intended for technical readers, and are either confined to certain branches of the Art or limited in extent, and do not treat upon the subject generally. To supply this deficiency is the object of the present work, which is based upon and includes a series of Articles written for the Proprietors of Engineering.

Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of the Art of Weaving by Hand and Power: With Calculations and Tables, for the Use of Those Connected With the Trade To acquire a competent knowledge of any Art it must be learned, either by reading, verbal teaching, observation and reflection, or actual practice; and as it is of the utmost importance to the apprentice in any branch of business to be told the theory of it, and shown how to use the tools connected with that particular branch, it must be of use to the apprentice or young beginner in the Weaving Trade also. Believing this, I have written this volume on the theory and practice of Weaving, and have through its pages given instructions how any one with ordinary capacity and perseverance may learn the theory of the Art.

Excerpt from Foot-Power Loom Weaving Girls taking the various household-arts courses will find weaving a great aid in understanding the structure of a piece of cloth. The work is so full of possibilities and the results obtained have such a wonderful effect on the character of the worker that these alone afford ample reasons why weaving should be carried on in both school and community. Double weaving as it was done inthe early days is such a mystery to the home weavers of today that it was thought advisable to add a chapter on this branch of the work in the present edition.

Excerpt from The Mechanism of Weaving When the hand-loom was in general use weaving mechan ism was of a comparatively simple type, and weaving depended almost entirely upon the handicraft skill of the weaver; but with the introduction of the power-loom the whole system was changed, and weaving practically became a new industry. With new machinery, and new processes, a want of definite information respecting their true functions and actions was keenly felt, and books began to be published which dealt with the more pressing problems. Nevertheless, when an impetus was given to technical education by the establishment of technical schools, a great lack of this class of literature was fully revealed.

Excerpt from Cotton Weaving: Its Development, Principles, and Practice The following work, which is complementary to the writer's former treatise upon "Cotton Spinning," was designed at the same time, and originally intended to appear at a comparatively short interval thereafter. Events occurred, however, which compelled the author to lay down the task. When resumed it had to be performed simultaneously with the heavy work of conducting a weekly trade journal, The "d104ile Mercury." Had the writer not felt in honour bound to the publishers to complete it, it would probably have been abandoned in the face of more important demands. The task is now, however, finished, and he would take this opportunity of acknowledging the great patience and kindness of Messrs. Bell and Sons in waiting, and that without pressure, until circumstances permitted it to be resumed and carried to a conclusion. The work is sent forth by the writer in the hope and trust that it will contribute to increase the interest of those whose lives, capital, and energies are practically invested in the cotton trade; and whose welfare, and that of generations of their descendants to follow, are inseparably bound up in the conservation of its interests and the promotion of its prosperity. And beyond this class there is another he would desire to affect, namely, those who care something for the great interests of the State.

Excerpt from Shuttle-Craft Courses in Weaving Weaving is an art as old as man himself. The very first man of all must have had an instinct in his fingers that led him to interlace twigs and grasses for shelter and covering. Without this instinct he might never have been a man at all. So it is not surprising that almost everyone likes to weave! I believe that the only reason so few - comparatively - know the pleasure of weaving is the difficulty in getting information, instruction, equipment and supplies. Following the introduction of machinery, hand-weaving became among us almost a lost art. Now, however, it is being revived, and I confidently look forward to a day when a hand-loom will be as customary a piece of house hold furniture as it was in the days of our great-great-grand parents. Many of the textiles of that day have come down to us. We recognize in them a charm and beauty impossible in a machine made product. But we need not sigh over the good old days, there is nothing to keep us from producing today, in exactly the same manner, things just as beautiful.
