I., =Power-Loom Weaving in General.= Various Systems of Looms.--II., =Mounting and Starting the Power-Loom.= English Looms.--Tappet or Treadle Looms.--Dobbies.--III., =General Remarks on the Numbering, Reeling and Packing-of Yarn.=--=Appendix.=--=Useful Hints.= Calculating Warps.--Weft Calculations.--Calculations of Cost Price in Hanks. =Press Opinions.= "A long-felt want in the weaving industry has been supplied by the issue of a cheap volume dealing 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 Daily Telegraph._ "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 cumbrous work." --_Cotton Factory Times._ "The book has been prepared with great care, and is most usefully illustrated. It is a capital text-book for use in the weaving 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 Whig._ "The 'inside' managers of our textile mills in which the work is complex or greatly varied, and 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 advantages 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 News._
