By A[lan] W. Pim.

Government Press in 1898.

DISCUSSION: A study of the woolen fabric trades in the northern sections 
of British Colonial India, with information on raw materials, spinning 
and warping, weaving, felting, dyeing, and local traditions connected 
with these activities. Sir Alan Pim [1871-1958] wrote a number of 
studies on British Colonial agriculture and related topics, and would 
later criticize the British government for not spending more on local 
Colonial infrastructure in Africa to benefit the native population. This 
early title is uncommon.

boards with newer cloth spine.

on the title page. Covers somewhat worn and soiled, 1-inch chip on upper 
corner. Brittle paper is starting to crack along the gutter at the 
bottom of the first few pages.
