COTTON-WOOL. 



Memoir on then oxi of themselves. If the weavers and 



Cotton ° 



Cultivation, spinners of Enp;land were allowed to do as appeared 



29 March 1819. i • i r 



most pleasing' to themselves, the manufactures of 

 England never would have risen to such perfec- 

 tion as at present. In all the commercial towns 

 and cities of England, very strong and severe laws 

 exist to maintain staple articles, good spinning, 

 and goods of a proper standard, agreeable to 

 known regulations ; and personal chastisement, 

 imprisonment, and fine, are inflicted upon wilful 

 offenders who violate the laws enacted for the 

 prosperity of manufacturers and trade. Premiums, 

 patents, and every kind of encouragement are 

 also held out, and very often granted by both 

 Government, corporations, and public-spirited 

 individuals, to meritorious persons planning and 

 bringing to perfection new schemes of cultivation, 

 manufactures, and commerce.
