The Structure of the Cotton Fibre, Vol. 1: In Its Relation to Technical Applications (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Structure of the Cotton Fibre, Vol. 1: In Its Relation to Technical Applications
When, in 1886, I was selected by the Royal Commission of the Indian and Colonial Exhibition to report on the wools there exhibited, I had the opportunity of examining probably the finest collection of wools which had up to that time been gathered together, and made extensive notes for future reference.
The books above named have long been out of print, and although many works have since appeared dealing with the same subject, my work and results have been largely embodied in them all, either acknowledged or unacknowledged, and the sketches of the fibres which I made have been universally accepted as authoritative.
