Weldon's practical knitter

Weldon's Practical Knitter was written in the Victorian Era as pamphlets and then later converted into the booklet seen here. The author, Walter Weldon, is particularly interesting because he was not a tailor or craft person by trade; rather, he was a chemist. Nevertheless, there are other booklets available, specifically, Weldon's Practical Needlework. Mr. Weldon must have been a very interesting man!
