The Art of Needle-work, from the Earliest Ages, 3rd ed.
Publisher Description
If there be one mechanical art of more universal application than all others, and therefore of more universal interest, it is that which is practiced with the Needle. From the stateliest denizen of the proudest palace, to the humblest dweller in the poorest cottage, all more or less ply the busy needle; from the crying infant of a span long and an hour’s life, to the silent tenant of “the narrow house, ” all need its practical services.
