P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.

It focuses on the clothing of sailors, farm laborers, slaves, apprentices, and servants between 1750 and 1825. Their clothing was surprisingly varied and colorful, suggesting that they cared more about clothes than might be expected. Following is a glossary of historical fabric and garment terms used in this article. Making and Buying Clothes in Early New Jersey Most of the clothing worn by working men in early New Jersey was made in New Jersey.l Some relied on their wives, mothers, and daughters for certain garments, especially shirts, constructed from a series of cloth squares. Making other men's garments, however, such as breeches, coats, and jackets, required more skill, the sort of trade knowledge restricted to professional tailors. Tailoring was a common occupation in early America; 344 tailors worked in Philadelphia in 1800, for instance.2 Many of these men, especially in the cities, were poor, and either sewed for their immediate neighbors or worked as "journeymen," free employees of a master who owned his own business. In tailoring shops that catered to men from middle and upper social levels, all garments were "bespoke," or custom-made using personalized measurements. Before the 1820s, tailors did not use 9 PlITMAN incremental tape measures but instead marked an individual's measurements on a long, narrow length ofpaper.3 Using these dimensions, a tailor drafted a pattern, the variously-shaped pieces of a commissioned garment, onto cloth.

  • An Historical Mystery 1
    AN HISTORICAL MYSTERY 1 AN HISTORICAL MYSTERY (The Gondreville Mystery) by HONORE DE BALZAC Translated By Katharine Prescott Wormeley by HONORE DE BALZAC 2 DEDICATION To Monsieur de Margone. In grateful remembrance, from his guest at the Chateau de Sache. De Balzac. AN HISTORICAL MYSTERY PART I CHAPTER I 3 CHAPTER I JUDAS The autumn of the year 1803 was one of the finest in the early part of that period of the present century which we now call "Empire." Rain had refreshed the earth during the month of October, so that the trees were still green and leafy in November. The French people were beginning to put faith in a secret understanding between the skies and Bonaparte, then declared Consul for life,--a belief in which that man owes part of his prestige; strange to say, on the day the sun failed him, in 1812, his luck ceased! About four in the afternoon on the fifteenth of November, 1803, the sun was casting what looked like scarlet dust upon the venerable tops of four rows of elms in a long baronial avenue, and sparkling on the sand and grassy places of an immense /rond-point/, such as we often see in the country where land is cheap enough to be sacrificed to ornament. The air was so pure, the atmosphere so tempered that a family was sitting out of doors as if it were summer. A man dressed in a hunting-jacket of green drilling with green buttons, and breeches of the same stuff, and wearing shoes with thin soles and gaiters to the knee, was cleaning a gun with the minute care a skilful huntsman gives to the work in his leisure hours.

As yet unsure of my thesis topic, but dead set on the fact that it would have something to do with mills, I wrote a proposal for a study of fulling mills on the Brandywine River in Delaware. I quickly realized that this was the perfect thesis topic for me. I am grateful to the organizers—Rabbit Goody and Kate Smith—and attendees of the Forum, which took place in July of that year. They embraced my enthusiasm, and responded in kind, with suggestions, sources, and encouragement that have fueled me throughout the rest of this project.

  • Dictionary of Textiles by Harmuth Louis
    PICTIONI\RY GIFT OF J DICTIONARY OF TEXTILES B Y LOUIS HARMUTH FASHION EDITOR OF "WOMEN'S WEAR" 1915 FAIRCHILD PUBLISHING COMPANY NEW YORK FAIRCHILD PUBIISHING CO, Copyright 1915. PREFACE The tendency in modern books of a technical character undoubtedly in- clines very strongly toward encyclopedic and dictionary forms. The cry for the saving of lime calls for books in compact form with information handy at a moment's notice. The present DICTIONARY is the result of 7'/2 years of collecting and compiling information, gained to a large extent in connection with my work on the Daily Trade Record and Women's Wear. With over 6,600 terms and definitions contained in it, this DICTIONARY is as nearly com- plete, in number of terms strictly relating to textile fibres and fabrics, as it is possible for a work of this kind to be. It was my desire to present in the DICTIONARY and within as small compass as practical the largest number of terms and definitions possible, re- lating to textiles from the fibres to the finished fabrics and everything which goes into them in the course of the manufacture. An interesting part of the DIC- TIONARY contains names of fabrics, now obsolete, with as complete a de- scription of their character as it was possible to find in various old laws, wills, lists and in the technical literature. Owing to the fact that manufacturers con- stantly have recourse to some obsolete fabric in search of new effects, details of manufacturing and finishing of such materials ought to be interesting.
