at the visitor's leisure. Men- milliners, dyers, toy-makers, pipe-makers, and the rest, may he seen, seated in tailor-fashion generally, busy at work in their respective shops. It is remarkable with what success the dyers and calico-printers carry on their avocations in narrow recesses that seem scarcely to afford elbow-room. One end of t...he tiny cell constitutes the print-shop, the other the dye-work. The process of dyeing is simple : the cloth is dipped in pots of clay or brass con- taining a supply of the requisite liquids.
