Excerpt from Carding and Spinning: A Book for Practical Mill Men
Several years ago I published a book called loom-fixing and Weaving, which treated the subject in a thoroughly practical manner. This book has been very favorably received, and the second edition is now almost exhausted. From time to time I have received many inquiries for a book on carding and spinning, written on the same general lines, but no such book could be found. To fill this demand, the present work has been written, and if by simply being read it imparts information which has been acquired by many years experience, the object of the writer has been attained.
