Notes:               Data were gathered by the authors from various textile collections
                     deposited at various museums and libraries on the East Coast, and
                     collected from the original business records of textile mills in New
                     England wherever possible. Preference was given to records that were
                     complete and continuous for long periods, and reasonably intelligible.
                     
                     Reporting techniques differed greatly from mill to mill. To make the
                     data comparable, each mill's output was allocated uniformly over the
                     months covered by the accounting period. The monthly figures were then
                     summed to calendar years.
                     
                     More details about the data are available in the book chapter "The New
                     England Textile Industry, 1825-60: Trends and Fluctuations"
