ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NEEDLEWORK

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NEEDLEWORK

BY

THÉRÈSE DE DILLMONT

The absolute want of any comprehensive book on needlework--such an one

as contains both verbal and pictorial descriptions of everything

included under the name of needlework--has led me to put into the

serviceable form of an Encyclopedia, all the knowledge and experience,

which years of unceasing study and practice have enabled me to

accumulate on the subject, with the hope that diligent female workers of

all ages, may be able, by its means to instruct themselves in every

branch of plain and fancy needlework.
