| Research Abstract |
This research considers the following questions : 1) what kinds of textiles were consumed in the British colonial Americas, 2) merchants who dealt in linens played what roles toward the production side, and 3) Irish linen yarns were used in production of what kinds of linens. It can be apprehended that the Lancashire linen Industry(the British embryonic cotton industry) developed in a complicated international linkage of rises and falls of linen industries, such as those of Ireland and of various areas in continental Europe as well as calico industry of India, in stead of understanding it within the conventional framework of independently industrialised Britain.
