XVIII. BOBBIN-NET MACHINE. 263 Men'seg, or Egyptian embroidery-frame. twenty, some forty, some five pound, some twenty nobles, and (which is horrible to hear) some ten pound apiece. " The embroidery-frame was in time superseded by the lace-pillow, which is stated to have been first used in Saxony in the sixteenth century. The production of Lace extended to Belgium and France ; and we are still familiar with the names of Brussels, Mechlin, Lisle, Valen- ciennes, and Alengon lace. Until the prese...nt century no lace was heard of but pillow-lace, a domestic manufac- ture, of which Honiton was the most famous seat. A stocking-weaver of Nottingham adapted his stocking-frame to the making of lace about 1770; and the bobbin-frame was invented in 1809. It was never extensively used till the expiration of the patent ; and the produce of this ma- chine was kept at so high a price by the patentees that it interfered little with the labour of the lace-makers in the cottages of the midland counties.
