This pattern is from a section called “The Work Table” and is on page 135.

This covering can be worked either square or in a long square. It will be exceedingly warm and useful as an open carriage wrapper, when scarlet and drab, or blue and claret fleecy, may be used. For either of these purposes, the crocheting should be done lightly and loosely with a very large needle. When worked for mats or rugs, eight-thread fleecy is preferable, and the crocheting should be done as tightly as convenient.

The materials needed are

… blue and white six-thread fleecy, with a large ivory needle.

A large ivory [or bone] crochet hook will be about 5mm or a US H-8. The closest modern equivalent to six-thread fleecy is a DK or light worsted weight yarn. The terminology is close to modern UK crochet terms but there are differences.
