The "FAMLY DIRECTOR" is published
in pamphlet form, and contains forty.
eight pages Of closely printed matter,
exclusively devoted TO The important cub
iect Of Domestic Manufactures in which
the author gives receipts for dying per-
manentIy on wool or woolen goods, all
the colors 10 use for cloths, satlinelts'
linseys, coverlets or carPetlngi amount
ing IN all 10 nearly one hundred: with
such additional Instructions IN the art Of
dying as cannot fail 10 render the re.
ceipts highly valuable 10 those who use
them. The whole arranged 10 answer
for dying in the wool or web, with the
difference 10 the cost and utility of the
two plans clearly pointed out.
Tho author being practical Manu-
1actarer, with more than thirty five
years experience in the art Of dying,
assures the public that those dyes that
are always fashionable on woOlIen goods
such as black. indigo blue, madder red,
brown green, yellow, &C., are descri.
bed so carefully that no person however
inexperienced they may be, can fail Of
success with The aid OF the Family Di-
rector.
1t also contains directions for washing
wool in the very best manner known 10
Manufactures; which If adopted cannot
fail to result in better cGrding and better
goods. The card'ng spinning, weaving
and finishing for each article Of manu-
facture are distinctly pointed out with
view TO their greatest degree Of per(ec.
ton and utility and without increasing
the expense Of production.
To the whole is directions for dying
tho indigo blue and few other colors in
common use, on cotton and linen, which
1t is believed will ba highly useful 10
the public.
