This early work on Weaving was originally published in 1831, The
Egyptians were the first civilized people of whom there are any
authentic records, and to them the neighbouring nations were chiefly
indebted for there knowledge in the arts and sciences: among which was
the art of weaving, especially of fine linen, for which there were
widely famed. This is a comprehensive and informative look at the
subject and will appeal to any historian. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the
original text and artwork.
