Abstract
THESE two volumes form a very welcome addition to textile literature. The authors have a thorough grasp of their subject and a sympathetic understanding of the needs of students. As text-books, the student of jute spinning will find them most comprehensive. Very few text-books on textile subjects cover the ground so completely. The practical man will also have a most reliable source of reference, as the various types of machines and workings have been described and discussed in detail. The subject matter is well arranged and the wealth of detail is presented in a manner that makes the reading of it most interesting. This latter is in itself no mean accomplishment. The line drawings are very clear, and the value of the work has been enhanced by the inclusion of photographs that in many cases were taken in the mills. Practically everything possible has been done to explain the principles underlying the various operations. Jute and Jute Spinning.
