Two chapters (XVI and XVII, pp. 147-171) from a 1904 Cassell volume on the Nile Valley, describing modern farming in Egypt's Delta. Cotton is treated first and in most detail: crop rotation, ridging and irrigation, sowing, picking, yields, costs per acre, varieties (Mit-Afifi, Abbassi, Yannovitch, Ashmouni) and pests. Later sections cover beans, maize, water melons, clover, wheat, barley, sesame and dourra, with threshing methods, wages and prices. It has two photographs of Egyptian farm and river scenes and no weaving content.

A technical manual from Cassell's Manuals of Technology on the principles of designing woven textile fabrics, combining decoration with sound cloth structure. It covers yarn structure, twills and their rearrangement and combination, stripes and checks, double and multi-ply cloths, figured cloths, extra warp and weft figuring, lappet weaving, gauze and net, and pile fabrics such as velveteen, plush and chenille. It includes about 108 diagrams, many point-paper drawdowns, and several coloured plates of printed or woven patterns.

An elementary handbook on lace, published by Cassell in 1909 and written by A. Penderel Moody for both collectors and makers. The first part surveys lace types and history: peasant laces (Torchon, Cluny, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire), fine Trolly laces, Brussels, Flemish-Italian and Genoese tape laces, and Devonshire lace. It also covers the care, mending and cleaning of old lace. Later parts cover materials and outfit (pillows, bobbins, pins, threads, pricking cards), stitches and fillings, and step-by-step bobbin lace patterns including Torchon, Cluny, a Buckinghamshire pea pattern, a Russian lace table-centre and a Flemish bird. Plates show lace specimens and pricking diagrams, and the volume ends with advertisements for lace suppliers.

A 1912 technical textbook on the preparation of wool for spinning, written by two Bradford Technical College instructors. It covers sheep breeds and breeding (including a chapter on Mendelism), wool and hair types from Britain and the colonies, wool classing and sorting, fibre properties, scouring, drying, and yarn types and twist. The final chapters describe the machinery for preparing, carding and combing, including gill boxes, carders, backwashers and circular combs, and a table of Bradford tops grades. It is illustrated with photographs of sheep, fibre micrographs, machine drawings, charts and tables.
