Laurie,
You are right. I have now bookmarked a "translation" web site.
Thank you for your links.

Take a look at

And there is absolutely no excuse for not speaking French anymore. Just go
to Google Language and copy the text in. Voila!

Well, thank you for such a detailed reply. I presume it is reasonable to
think that it was not produced until the early 1900s?
Most valuable information. Thank you Laurie. :)
PS as I did my Google search I am reasonably sure I saw an eBook
available for free download of one of his books. I presumed it was in
French so did not pursue the entry.

Jacques Cottier was an early 19th century manufacturer of lacemaking
equipment in France. He published a book called "Manuel Pratique pour
apprendre soi-meme a faire la dentelle aux fuseau", which helped
advertise his equipment. That went through 4 editions, 1902, 1904, 1908,
1913. He is most well known for his 'encapsulated' bobbin where you
screw off the bottom portion of the bobbon and put in a small spool of
thread (which he conveniently sold). The thread comes out to the shank
through a tiny hole. The bobbin is illustrated in detail in his book.
Not terribly practical. A complete set of these with the original pillow
sold a few years ago, it looks very impressive all put together.
Cottier was also one of the early 19th century promotors advocating the
'lace by numbers' system that quickly made its way into the Torchon Lace
Company literature for the Princess Lace Machine in the USA.
