A 1967 Burt Franklin reprint of William Felkin's 1867 history of machine knitting (hosiery) and machine-made lace in England and abroad. It traces hand-knitting and the hand loom, William Lee's stocking frame, the framework knitters' charter, Strutt's Derby rib frame, warp machines, and Heathcoat's bobbin net machine. Later chapters cover Luddism, the Levers, pusher and Jacquard lace machines, the lace and hosiery trades to 1867, and the French and Saxon industries. It is illustrated with plates of machines, mechanism diagrams, portraits and lace samples, and includes statistical tables of frames and wages.
