DEDICATED BY PERMISSION, TO THE COUNTESS OF WICKLOW, Whose kindness to the Authoress, will ever be remembered with grateful feelings of respect, By her most obedient servant, MARIE JANE COOPER

Preface

❦ ❦ ❦

I venture to publish The New Guide to Knitting and Crochet, believing it will prove both instructive and amusing to those Ladies, whose taste leads them to such pursuits. The Authoress being practically acquainted with these Arts, she warrants them correct, and trusts they will meetwith a favourable reception by the Public, and be found a useful appendage to every work-table.

Hastings, January 1847.
