This history, first published in 1823, also includes a 'disproval of the claim of Sir Richard Arkwright to the invention of its ingenious machinery'. It includes sections on the national and general importance of cotton manufacture, developments in the methods of spinning and weaving, key inventions, and the changes in the character of the cotton workers.
