Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

First Published in 1966. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
The journalist and politician Edward Baines (1800-90) succeeded his
father as editor of the Leeds Mercury and as MP for Leeds. From a
dissenting family, he was a social reformer but passionately
believed that the state should not interfere in matters such as
working hours and education. In this 1835 work, he sees the cotton
industry as an exemplar of the unity of 'the manufactory, the
laboratory, and the study of the natural philosopher', in making
practical use of creative ideas and scientific discoveries. He
surveys cotton manufacture from its origins to its 'second birth'
in England, and focuses on the current state of machinery, trade
and working conditions in all aspects of the business, and its
outputs, including cloth, lace, stockings and cotton wool. This
comprehensive work was important for its detailed analysis of a
vital commercial activity, and remains so today for the historical
information it contains.
