Abstract
IT would not be correct to describe this book either as a text-book or a research report; nor yet even a philosophical discourse: for it is something of all three, and, withal, undoubtedly the most interesting and stimulating that has been written round the subject of cotton. As the author puts it in the introduction, the object of the work described herein is to bring the “Spindle to the Hoe”; by which is meant the reconciliation, by scientific treatment, of the aims of the grower with the requirements of the spinner.
