A chapter from David Bremner's 'The Industries of Scotland' (1869) on calico-printing and Turkey-red dyeing.

It then describes in detail the Dalquhurn Dyeworks and Cordale Printfield of William Stirling & Sons near Renton, covering bleaching, mordants, madder dyeing, discharge printing, block and hydraulic-press printing, output and wages.
