Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Manufactures in the United States, 1607-1860
The materials for the following volume were gathered, and the chapters relating to the colonial period were written, during intervals between various investigations for the United States Government from 1906 to the spring of 1909. Thereafter the work was to all intents completely interrupted for more than four years during my absence from the country, but it was resumed in the autumn of 1913 and since then has received my main attention.
