Circum stances having rendered it necessary for them to seek assistance to complete the volume, I was in duced, at their request, to undertake it: and all that Dr. Lardner had contributed was forthwith placed in my hands. It is unnecessary for me to state the difficulties which an author must encounter in attempting to complete a work commenced by another. I must, however, mention that, after a careful examination of the materials placed at my disposal, I have en deavoured to carry out Dr. Lardner's original de sign, as developed in the Introduction to Vol. I.; and shall now point out, as distinctly as I can, the nature and extent of my own contributions to the present volume. In the early pages of the work, (a considerable portion of which was in type when I undertook its completion,) I have placed within brackets my own words, whether they be interpolations or con densed matter. I have also added extra chapters to this portion, – as Chap. XV. of Book I, On the WOL. II. A. vi AD VERTISEMENT. Electricity of Steam; Chap. VIII. and IX. of Book II., On Faraday's Researches, – and Memo randa which had not been included elsewhere; and throughout the volume I have appended many para graphs, to supply deficiencies or to illustrate parti cular points. In order still further to mark the distinction between Dr. Lardner's contributions and my own, in the Table of Contents I have placed a star (*) at the head of every chapter and paragraph which are entirely his; the interpolations being, as before, indicated by brackets. A few pages of Voltaic Electricity, comprising the first two paragraphs of Chap I., and Chap. II. to para graph 310., are from the pen of Dr. Lardner. I used my own judgment in the continuation, adopting the arrangement and selecting the materials which were best suited to my limits; and my reason for quoting so frequently the words of other writers, instead of giving my own descriptions, is because that method allowed of my introducing smaller type, and in cluding much matter for which I could not other wise have found space. I have brought up the description of Voltaic Combinations to the latest improvements, including Grove's Gaseous Battery; and have done my best to collect the clearest illus trations of Electrolytic Action, and its applications. The chapter on Dry Piles is chiefly Dr. Lardner's. Magnetism is mine, and of necessity is only a sketch. I found a few wood-cuts prepared, and also the mag netic charts; and have therefore introduced them, with a view of keeping close to the original design. The commencing portion of Electro-magnetism was written ; but it required so much revision and al teration to adapt it to my own views, and to the ADVERTISEMENT. vii circumstances before me, that it may almost be regarded as re-written. The latter portions of this branch, as also its kindred subjects, Magneto- and Thermo-electricity, are mine. In conclusion, I would beg to remind the reader that this is professedly an Elementary Treatise, the chief design of which is to teach, as it were, the alphabet and the first principles of the science. When the student has made himself master of the contents of these volumes, he will find a rich store of electrical discoveries awaiting him; he will see that the science, which but a few years ago had no proper rank of itself, has now become of paramount interest; that, like the disregarded snow-flakes, it moved at first slowly and in obscurity; but now, like the mighty avalanche, it has advanced with a power and rapidity of which it originally gave no indication.

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.

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.

  • 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.
