A French manual on raising silkworms by the method of Count Vincenzo Dandolo, written by Matthieu Bonafous and issued in a third edition in 1827 for farmers of southern France. Fifteen chapters cover silkworm biology, mulberry leaf feeding, temperature, humidity, air purification, light, space, equipment, hatching, rearing through each age, cocoon spinning, seed production, three-molt and white-cocoon varieties, and diseases. It closes with an extract of a report by M. Bosc and an explanation of four plates showing rearing apparatus and a model rearing building. It deals with sericulture rather than weaving.
