the Devon History Society A richly illustrated exploration of the
national and international importance of the early modern Exeter
cloth trade. This book reproduces a newly discovered manuscript
detailing the exports of Claude Passavant, a Swiss emigre merchant.
Passavant's dispatch book comprises the most extensive surviving
collection of Devon cloth with 2,475 surviving cloth samples.

eighteenth-century cloth making. This study explores the quality,
range, and vibrancy of cloth that lead to Exeter becoming an
internationally renowned centre for the manufacture and trade of
woollen cloth.
