    Mathematical sleaing-tables Or, The great and only mistery of weaving linnen-cloth explain'd. By which the most ignorant weaver is infallibly directed how to adjust the reed to the yarn: and the buyer truly shewn whether the cloth be wrought to its due perfection. Taken from geometrical proportions, and fitted to the meanest capacity. Published by the special order of the Honourable the House of Commons, and by order of the Honourable trustees for the improvement of the linnen manufacture in this Kingdom. To which is added, an abstract of all the statutes now in force, relating to the linnen manufacture. By Joseph Beaumount, merchant.

    Beaumont, Joseph | Date: MDCCXII. [1712]
