A variety of publications relative to the art of weaving,chiefly designed for the use of the operative class of weavers have, indeed, appeared at different periods. But the authors of all these works have acted upon the presumption; that the art itself was fully known to their readers, but that they were wholly, or partially, ignorant of the science of arithmetic. Hence, they contain merely collections of Tables for the purpose of facilitating calculation, many of which are more adapted to the use of the manufacturer, than of the operative warper or weaver.
