To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It appears practically impossible to do anything to stop the use of the common aniline colours. Good indigenous dyeing requires care in the selection, as well as in the use of drugs and dye-stuffs, which are often difficult to get, especially in the small quantities in which the ordinary impecunious weaver is able to purchase them. Every village shopkeeper has a range of the cheapest and worst anilines, at prices varying often from six to ten annas the pound tin, and all the weaver-dyer has to ...do is to purchase a few ounces or a tin of the colour he needs. A pot of boiling water and some vegetable acid, alkali or alum does the rest, and the dyer has thus at hand all the material for the colouring of a carpet in as many tints as Joseph's coat. The alizarine and chrome-alizarine colours are many of them quite as fast as, or faster than the old vegetable ones, but their proper use needs a certain amount of skilled training, the possession of exact scales and weights for getting out very minute quantities, and a certain number of fairly pure European drugs.
