This book is a historical account of the woollen trade for the last sixty years. It shows the advantages that the West of England manufacturers had over those of Yorkshire up to 1813 and how these were gradually overcome. The book also includes a memoir of the author and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the woollen trade.
