A comprehensive 1844 American treatise on hand and power weaving by Clinton G. Gilroy, a practical weaver and manufacturer. It opens with a long, partly humorous introductory account of the history of weaving, then covers plain weaving, tweeling (twill), double cloth, velvets, gauze and net weaving, figured weaving with draw looms, barrel looms and the Jacquard machine, carpet manufacture, lace and embroidery, and power-loom weaving with its machinery. The book is heavily illustrated with engraved loom and machine diagrams, includes drafts for twills, satins, quilts and nets, and ends with design paper samples, web calculation tables, Jacquard mounting examples and an index.
