MEMOIR OF SAMUEL SLATER, The Father of American Manufacture. CONNECTED WITH A HISTORY OF THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF THE COTTON MANUFACTURE IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA. Includes remarks of the Moral Influence of Manufactories in the United States. Originally published in 1836. The Author has endeavoured to make this work permanently intersting and valuable, and render it subservient to the cause of the industry. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. | Memoir Of Samuel Slater Connected With A History Of The Rise And Progress Of The Cotton Manufacture In England And America by George S White
