Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an early 19th century advocate for establishing a silk industry in the United States. The author, a French expert in silk manufacture, provides step-by-step guidance for farmers on the care and feeding of silkworms to optimize cocoon production, yield, and quality. He describes the process for converting these cocoons into raw silk thread, which he maintains is superior to the European variety in both quality and quantity. He highlights the financial benefits to American farmers and planters from entering this high-lucrative global market. The book also critiques the popular belief that superior technology and know-how from Europe is necessary for a successful silk industry in the United States, arguing instead that a focused effort on producing raw silk for export will ultimately benefit all parties involved. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
