Hemp
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A very short 1869 magazine item on hemp as a fiber plant, noting its use for thread, cloth, and cordage and comparing it to flax in form, culture, and use. It says the bark of the stalk is the useful part and that the fiber is coarser and stronger than flax. It begins a remark on the limited cultivation of hemp in Great Britain, and the text ends partway through that remark.
