An encyclopedia article on linen from Rees's Cyclopedia (1819) covering the linen trade of Europe, the commercial relationship between England, Scotland and Ireland, and the many British statutes governing linen, calico, cotton and cambric manufacture. Most of the text deals with duties, stamping, frame marks, penalties and forfeitures for printers, stainers and dyers. It closes with notes on plant juices that stain linen and on methods for marking linen so the mark does not wash out.
