A fourth-edition (1814) Glasgow handbook by Alexander Peddie for cotton and linen manufacturers, weavers and warpers. Most of the book is numbered tables for heddle (camb) weights, yarn quantities per web, warp lengths, starch quantities, eveners for beaming, reed and camb settings, weaving prices in Perth, and list prices of cotton twist yarn. Arithmetical rules with worked examples explain calculating warps and reeds. The final section gives about 44 numbered drafts and cordings (tie-ups and treadling) for cord, spot, nett, flushing, gauze, crape and velveteen cloths, plus pressure harness.
