"The Epoch of the Shawl Trade in Paisley," writes the author of
this interesting volume, "is now rounded off. Like a flower it came
up, blossomed, and decayed." Even thus, in Paisley, does the poetic
imagination weave garlands of blooming thoughts round textile
fabrics. The book, however, is description and history, not an
effusion of creative art. The shawls are now rarities sought for by
collectors. To such persons this volume must prove uncommonly
valuable as explaining, both by pictures and by written
descriptions, the technical excellences of garments that must
always rank among the most wonderful productions of the world-old
craft of the weaver ." - The Scotsman, on publication in 1904.
