A dictionary entry defining muslin as a thin, white cotton cloth, listing its many varieties and the origin of the name. It compares fine English muslin with Dacca muslin from India, giving thread fineness, twist counts and the extreme delicacy of the best pieces. It also describes how Hindu spinners hand-prepare and spin the cotton, and lists the parts of the Hindu loom.
