NEW YORK J- PRODUCED BY UNZ.ORG ELECTRONIC REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED THE IlISH "PUCK" IN the folklore of most nations there appears some type of "mischievous being —the personified essence of the orneriness of the inanimate. Considering the fiendish skill with which a collar button can conceal itself, or a pencil seen in its proper place not ten minutes ago can vanish, it is abundantly clear that some invisible—and ill-natured—visitant must be at work. • The English—see Shakespeare—called it the work of Puck, the jokester fairy. The Irish seemingly had more trouble; they required a whole race of jokester- tricksters to explain away their difficulties. Ireland had the Leprechaun-r-or at least they were so called in the Leinster district. -In south Ireland they were the Cluricaune, but Cluricaune or Leprechaun, they were a troublesome lot. Normally, they were pretty much solitary beings, unlike the friendly fairy folk who generally went in troops. There were suggestions, as a matter of fact, that the Leprechauns were outcasts from the fairy folk, exiled for their bad dis­ positions, a fact which naturally did nothing to improve those dispositions.

Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. ; 155688 PREFACE This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

  • Paisley Cotton Talk
    RLHF Journal Vol.15 (2009) 1. The Development of the Cotton Industry in Paisley Stuart Nisbet Preface It is a common difficulty in Scottish history and archaeology that big successes become so well-known that we lose sight of how they actually started. Such is the case with cotton mills. This paper asks how the vast ‘Paisley Mills’ of Coats and Clark actually developed. This will take us back through a potted evolution of the textile mill, leading up to the development of Paisley’s world-wide success in textile making. The story is very wide-ranging, but as the emphasis of the 2008 conference is on built heritage, we will look at the earlier period through a quick tour of the buildings or physical evidence. The development of the cotton mill can be seen through an evolution of five groups of textile ‘mill’: 1. Weaving Mills or ‘Manufactories’ 2. Thread Mills 3. Lint Mills 4. Wash Mills, Bleachfields and Printfields 5. Spinning Mills Early Ferguslie Mills and Paisley Canal c.1830 (Courtesy of Glasgow University Archive Services Ref. GB 248 UGD 199). Introduction What is a cotton mill? Today it can mean anything from a water-powered factory to a warehouse up the A9 which sells tartan rugs, shortbread and fiddle music. How does a cotton mill compare with earlier textile mills, such as thread mills and lint mills? Does a water powered mill differ from a steam powered mill? Is a Paisley cotton mill the same as a New Lanark cotton mill? Such questions can be answered in terms of industrial history or archaeology.
