Synopsis

Several publications on Cotton Spinning have appeared, the merits of which it is not my intention to discuss. As a practical Working man, I may however observe, that those which have come under my notice are, to a considerable extent, destitute of much practical utility. The systems they contain of making the calculations, are not sufficiently explicit, and hence can never achieve the great and important object of combining practice with theory, which is so essential, particularly to managers and overlookers.
