REFERENCE LIST AND NOTES 

 CHAPTER I 



AN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 



(pp. 31-32.) The quotation is from the "History of Cotton 

 Manufacture," by Edward Baines, Jr., London (not dated). 

 This work gives a valuable account of the spinning- and weaving- 

 industries. The author leans towards the opinion that Arkwright 

 may have gained the idea of his revolutionary spinning-process 

 from the earlier patent of Lewis Paul. He advances testimony 

 of convincing character to show that Paul (possibly in association 

 with his partner, John Wyatt) actually invented a mechanism of 

 similar type to that which afterwards made Arkwright famous. 

 It is not at all in doubt, however, that it was Arkwright and not 

 Paul who was responsible for making the mechanism a com- 

 mercial success; therefore, according to the usual standards by 

 which such matters are adjudged in the public mind, Arkwright 

 must always be given the honors of the inventor. He seems to 

 have been a man of such ingenuity that almost every mechanism 

 with which he had to deal was improved at his hands.
