Book excerpt: 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.
