Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silk Industry of the World at the Opening of the Twentieth Century In this pamphlet it is not deemed necessary to describe what raw silk is, or how it is grown, or what the processes of sericulture and the silk worm are. Numerous publications, both in this country and abroad, give this information very fully, and it seems superfluous to reproduce it. The aim here is to trace the development of the silk industry in the principal countries which manufacture silk fabrics, to describe the processes of manufacture, and to indicate the causes and present conditions of its progress and equipment at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Notwithstanding the antiquity of the silk industry, and the important relation that the principal countries of the world have borne to it from time to time, it is plainly evident that the silk industry of to-day is a modern achievement. The major portion of the pamphlet was originally prepared by the writer as an article for the "Encyclopedia Americana" an entirely new work from the Twentieth Century point of view, now being published in 16 volumes by the Scientific American Compiling Department. It is now reprinted by the Silk Association of America for distribution among its members, with "copyright" permission of the publishers of the "Encyclopedia Americana."

Download or read book A Global History of Silk written by Pierre Vernus and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-10-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the global development of the production and trade of silk and related industries from a historical perspective. From the sixteenth to the twentieth century, it takes long-term movements and global dynamics into account. Covering a wide geographical area, including East-Asia, Northern and Southern Europe, and North-America, the respective contributions examine economic activities related to silk production, silk processing, trading and consumption of silk and silk fabrics, while also highlighting diverse paths of industrialization and economic development. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which features contributions on silk markets and trade, covering topics such as auction sales and Sino-European trade. The second part addresses issues of work organization, institutional developments and the gendered division of labour, discussing topics such as systems of home-based and factory production and the organization of quality control. In turn, the third part highlights technological innovations and knowledge transfer. This book appeals to scholars and students of economic history who are interested in a better understanding of the key features and patterns in the development of the silk industry and trade and, more widely, in the global economic history of the early modern and modern periods.
Book Synopsis The Silk Industry of the United Kingdom by : Frank Warner

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silk Industry of the United Kingdom: Its Origin and Development It was originally intended that this work should be entitled "The History of the Silk Industry of the United Kingdom," and it was believed that quite a small volume would suffice to contain all the information procurable, but enquiries begun in the early months of the year 1911 have resulted in establishing the fact that the Silk Industry was at one time and in one form or another carried on in a very wide area and at places hitherto unsuspected of having had any connection with it. Seeking, as was natural, in the early days of its development localities which provide water power and a supply of cheap labour, the industry became scattered, and it has remained so ever since. How far this disintegration and consequent lack of cohesion and unity of effort, political, economical, technical and educational, has led to the decline of the industry in this country it is impossible to estimate, but it is undoubtedly a source of weakness, whether judged relatively to the prosperity of silk workers in other countries or to those engaged in the other branches of the textile industry in Great Britain and Ireland. It is not the object of this work to attempt to prove that our past or present fiscal policy has been either the salvation or the ruin of the silk industry in this country. The facts must be left to speak for themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silk Industry of Great Britain, and Its Revival My object in placing this little work before those of my friends who take an interest in the silk trade of this country, is not for the purpose of advertising the silks and velvets manufactured and sold by the firm of which I am a member; nor in any way to detract from the superb productions of France, Italy, or any other country. This I emphatically wish my readers to bear in mind before perusing the comparative remarks upon the manufactures of the various countries hereinafter mentioned; but in attempting to express my views on the subject, I am actuated solely by two motives: - Firstly, to persuade my readers at least to give the English manufacturer a fair chance of competition, and not to allow any prejudice which may exist in their minds to bias their judgment to everything either wholly or partially of home manufacture, simply because it is of British, and not of foreign make.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economics of the Silk Industry: A Study in Industrial Organisation The investigation on which this book is based was commenced in 1916. It is the result of personal observation and inquiry extending over a period of nearly three years, both in this country and in France. In Great Britain I devoted exclusive attention to the study of the manufacturing industry, and collected useful material from all sources, including merchants, brokers, manufacturers, and others interested in the silk industry and trade. During my tour in France I took the opportunity of making a joint economic survey of the silk producing and the silk-manufacturing industries. This joint study greatly facilitated my work, and I was thus able to discover the connecting links between the processes of production and the processes of manufacturing.

Book Synopsis The Silk Industry of the United States: From 1766 to 1874 (Classic Reprint) by : Alfred Theodore Lilly

This book was released on 2018-09-23 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silk Industry of the United States: From 1766 to 1874 The three thousand pounds of raw silk which were then annu ally produced in Mansfield could only be disposed of when con verted by hand-manufacture into sewing-silk, and for the most part had to be offered in barter. Mr. Lilly hoped that by means of machinery a sewing-silk could be made equal to the Italian, and, like it, capable of being sold for cash, instead of being ex changed for goods at irregular valuations. He was fully acquaint ed with the praiseworthy efforts which his townsmen, Messrs. Hanks, had already made in endeavoring to spin silk by ma chinery; he was further apprised of their utter failure, both in demonstrating that the manufacture of sewing-silk by machinery was practicable, and in awakening a public interest that might have carried forward the undertaking. Not discouraged by these facts, he brought the subject before Captain Joseph Conant and Messrs. William A. Fisk, William Atwood, Storrs Hovey, and Jesse Bingham, and with them eventually formed a copartnership, under the name of the Mansfield Silk Company, for the manufacture of silk by machinery.

Download or read book The Silk Roads written by Peter Frankopan and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • Far more than a history of the Silk Roads, this book is truly a revelatory new history of the world, promising to destabilize notions of where we come from and where we are headed next. "A rare book that makes you question your assumptions about the world.” —The Wall Street Journal From the Middle East and its political instability to China and its economic rise, the vast region stretching eastward from the Balkans across the steppe and South Asia has been thrust into the global spotlight in recent years. Frankopan teaches us that to understand what is at stake for the cities and nations built on these intricate trade routes, we must first understand their astounding pasts. Frankopan realigns our understanding of the world, pointing us eastward. It was on the Silk Roads that East and West first encountered each other through trade and conquest, leading to the spread of ideas, cultures and religions. From the rise and fall of empires to the spread of Buddhism and the advent of Christianity and Islam, right up to the great wars of the twentieth century—this book shows how the fate of the West has always been inextricably linked to the East. Also available: The New Silk Roads, a timely exploration of the dramatic and profound changes our world is undergoing right now—as seen from the perspective of the rising powers of the East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Silk and Silk Manufactures Sir: The undersigned, Commissioner of the United States, and member of the Committee "on Raw Materials and Manufactures of great use or displaying remarkable skill or merit," to whom has been specially assigned the subject of silk and silk manufactures, respectfully submits the following Report: Silk, by its characteristic qualities and uuchangeableness, as well as by the richness and beauty of its appearance, is in relation to textile substances what gold is to metals. It is of all filamentary substances that which gives the finest, most durable, and most elastic threads. Its tenacity is about equal to that of good iron; that is to say, a thread of silk of the same size will support nearly the same weight before breaking, and the textile matter affords an elasticity superior to that of the mineral substances. Silk consequently unites the most brilliant properties with the most solid qualities. Its various, excellent, and advantageous characteristics have made it an object of research in all ages by the different nations of the world. Antiquity Of The Use Of Silk. China, even in our own day the most important country for the production of silk, appears to have been its cradle at the most remote epoch. The Chinese annals attribute to the Emperor Fau-Hi the merit of having employed silk in the manufacture of musical instruments of his own invention 3,400 years before the Christian era. The Empress Si-Ling-Chi was the first to invent silk tissues, 2,650 years before our era, which invention contributed so immensely to the prosperity of her country that she was placed among the Chinese divinities, under the name of Sien Thsan, and even now the Chinese empresses offer annually solemn sacrifices to her memory. As it is the habit of the emperor of China once a year to plough the earth in order to add dignity and honor to agricultural pursuits, so in like manner the empress, by annually visiting the silk-worm nurseries and laboring with her own hands, encourages the production of this valuable commodity. Two centuries before the Christian era the Chinese carried on a commerce in silk with Persia, Greece, and Italy. Their caravans or troops of dealers were protected by military settlements or colonies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis An Economic History of the Silk Industry, 1830-1930 by : Giovanni Federico
Download or read book An Economic History of the Silk Industry, 1830-1930 written by Giovanni Federico and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-05-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the growth of the world silk industry. Professor Federico documents Western industrialization, the technical progress and the changing methods of production that enabled the silk industry to cope with increased demand. Silk became the first Japanese success story on the world market, with Italy retaining a sizeable share until labor was diverted as a result of its industrialization. Japanese industrialization also led its silk industry to a similar fate after the Second World War.
