I've got my copy with me here in North Wales as it's a good reference for needlelace stitches. (I'm running a Lacemaking Weekend as a fundraiser for the preserved railway where I volunteer tomorrow and Sunday).
First published in 1874, reprinted by Lacet Publications in 1994. ISBN 1 874688 05 2 The Antique Point she included was Branscombe Point, not Battenberg, Jane :-) The book also has instructions for making Honiton (bobbin) lace, some history and how to care for lace (though the methods would probably raise eyebrows now).

The Antique Point is the Battenberg I make today, the Honiton is bobbin lace. (snip)..... I can't find my copy of her book at the moment so I can't give you the details on that. Very good for braid lace.
