Сторінка 243 - The bobbin-net, which is exported in a plain state, is embroidered chiefly in Belgium, Saxony, and, until recent events, in ill-fated Poland. Mr. F. thinks that but for the high...
Сторінка 244 - ... a year, the whole of the existing machinery of the trade, full-handed, and worked eighteen hours a day, would scarcely produce a supply sufficient for that market. Worked at that rate, our production would be under thirty millions of yards a year, and there are upwards of twenty-seven millions of mothers of families in our Indian possessions.
