An encyclopedia entry on lace as a manufacture, describing pillow or bobbin lace made in Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire and the Nottingham machine imitations. It explains the point-net and warp-net frames, both variants of the stocking frame, and John Heathcoat's 1809 bobbin-net machine that reproduces twisted pillow lace. It closes with remarks on the state of the Nottingham lace trade and the preference for French and Flemish laces.
