An excerpt:

"Like many fabrics of a special character this beautiful and artistic lace now so much in vogue takes its name from the country whence it originated, namely the Teneriffe islands. Made by peasant women upon rude and cumbersome frames, up to within the last few years it has been little know in England, But of late however in these days of enterprise and travel, so much of it has found its way into this country thus affording an opportunity for a careful study of its peculiar characteristics, that with the convenient and simple appliances we now have for its manufacture, it is possible for any lady to make for herself all forms of the lace, and indeed in far greater a variety of designs than ever originated from the nimble fingers of the humble workers of Teneriffe.

No special knowledge of lace making is necessary, and with undivided attention and a careful perusal of the instructions given in this work, the most beautiful specimens of lace may be obtained. The latest and most novel and effective treatment of Teneriffe work is the coloured lace in conjunction with a colored material..."
