Two pages from the January 1918 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal, continuing a serialized dictionary of textile terms through entries from "Leafy Cotton" to "Loewe's Reagent." Entries cover fibers and sheep breeds (Leicester, Lincoln, llama and alpaca), yarn counts (linen lea, lisle), fabrics (linon, linsey-woolsey, lisse), laces (Lille, Limerick), Jacquard harness parts, bleaching and dyeing processes, and laboratory reagents. A short unrelated item about a Japanese test paper made from Tama-tsubaki fruit follows at the end.
