A one-page notice in the United States Democratic Review (1846) of the Harper & Brothers book on the history of silk, cotton, linen, wool and other fibrous substances, including observations on spinning, dyeing and weaving and the pastoral life of the ancients. The reviewer comments on the commercial and political importance of cotton, using the defense of New Orleans as an example, and on the early struggles of textile manufactures under military governments and aristocracies. It is a general appreciation of the book and gives no technical weaving detail.
