A Monograph on the Silk Fabrics of Bengal

This Monograph has been prepared according to the directions contained in the Revenue Department Circular No. 10, dated the 29th November 1898, which requires that the Monograph "should give a complete review of all branches of the silk industry." The subject will be dealt with in five parts. The first part will refer to the first raw material, viz., the mulberry and the silk-worm; the second part will deal with silk yarns; the third part, with commercial and industrial questions the fourth part, with weaving proper, and the fifth part, with the Tasar and Endi or Erz silk industries. All the parts, however, will be treated from the point of view of the silk fabrics.
