A one-page book notice in the American Whig Review (January issue, page 112) of Harper & Brothers' 1845 volume on the history of silk, cotton, linen, wool and other fibrous substances. The reviewer reproduces the full title, which promises material on spinning, dyeing and weaving, the pastoral life of the ancients, and appendices on Pliny, paper, felting and netting. The review praises the work's usefulness to American growers of silk, cotton and flax and notes its paper and illustrations.
