The "FAMlLY DIRECTOR" is pubishe
in pamphlet form, and contains forty
eight pages Of closely printed matter
exclusively devoted to the important su
ject OF Domestic Manufactures; IN which
the author gives receipts for dying per-
smanently on wool or wooIen goods, al
the coors IN use Tor cloths, sattlGells
linseys, coverels or carpeIng; amount
ing IN all TO nearly one hundred: with
such additional instructions IN tho art oI
dying as cannot laIl 10 render the re-
ceipts highly valuable 10 those who use
them. The whole arranged to answer
for dying in the wool or web, with the
difference to the cost and utility of the
two plans clearly pointed out.
The author being a practical Manu-
'facturer, with more than thirty five
ysar's experience in the art of dying,
assures the public that those dyes that
are always fashionable 90 woolIen goods
such as black, indigo blue, madder red,
brown green, yellow, &c, are DESERT
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 Carding and better
goods. The cardIng spinning, weaving
and finishing for each article Of manu-
taclure are distinctly pointed out with a
view to their greatest degree Of perfec.
ton and utility and without increasing
the expense Of production.
To the whole is directions for dying
the indigo blue and few other coIors in
common use, on cotton and linen, which
1t is believed will bO highly useful TO
the public.
