Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Woollen and Worsted Industries
To trace the origin and progress [of manufactures], with the causes of that progress, is more worthy the pains of the student than to make himself acquainted with the annals of wars and dynasties, or with nineteen-twentieths of the matters which fill the pages of history.
