Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This History covers the field differently. It is the only\ attempt that has been made to bring into one complete, compact narrative all the material facts relating to the industry and to present in an exhaustive and comprehen sive' manner, on the purely historical side, the annals of this branch of American manufacturing, from the erecting of the first littlemill in Philadelphia, in 1690, to the Opening years of the twentieth century. What has been done in this way for coal-mining, agriculture, many branches of manufacturing, oil production, the iron and steel industries and other American industrial activities has been here attempted for paper-making.
