cold is as follows:-
That the purest and choicest cotton wool of East India or Brazill growth
be selected, prepared, and spun by the machinery of Arkwright's Invention,
or by other machinery equally effective, so as to produce a thread, free from
inequalities, of the size of the three hundred and twentieth part of an inch
circle, and twisted so as to carry a weight of two pounds averdupoize, and so
in proportion for the various qualities to be produced. The warp and the weft
to be of the same twine, and wove into cloth by the steam apparatus called
the power loom, the expence of the erection of which, with the various
apparatus, is from twenty thousand pounds to twenty-five thousand pounds,
by which the cloth is produced of a certain even fabric. It is then to be
bleached on the grass, and not with destructive acids; each piece to be
aromatized when necessary by steeping in spirit of vinegar twenty-four hours
and prepared for use.
