Strana 8 - With respect to cotton, you do not pretend to deny that a sufficient quantity of that might be produced. Several of the southern colonies are so favorable to it, that with due cultivation, in a couple of years, they would afford enough to clothe the whole continent.
Strana 39 - Providence, was taken to Pawtucket, and attached to a wheel propelled by water : the work of turning the machine was too laborious to be done by the hand, and the machine itself was too imperfect to be turned by water. Soon after, these machines were sold to Moses Brown of Providence ; but as all the carding and roving was done by hand, it was very imperfect, and but very little could be done in this way.
Strana 43 - As the frame we have is the first attempt of the kind that has been made in America, it is too imperfect to afford much encouragement; we hardly know what to say to thee, but if thou thought thou couldst perfect and conduct them to profit, if thou wilt come and do it, thou shalt have all the profits made of them over and above the interest of the money they cost, and the wear and tear of them.
Strana 32 - In this factory they have the new invented carding and spinning machines. One of the first supplies the work, and four of the latter ; one of •which spins eighty-four threads at a time, by one person. The cotton is prepared for these machines, by being first (lightly) drawn to a thread, on the common wheel. There is also another machine for doubling and twisting the threads for particular cloths; this also does many at a time. For winding the cotton from the spindles and preparing it for the warp,...
Strana 8 - If, by the necessity of the thing, manufactures should once be established, and take root among us, they will pave the way, still more, to the future grandeur and glory of America; and, by lessening its need of external commerce, will render it still securer against the encroachments of tyranny.
Strana 41 - ... in which business I flatter myself that I can give the greatest satisfaction, in making machinery, making good yarn, either for stockings or twist, as any that is made in England; as I have had opportunity, and an oversight, of Sir Richard Arkwright's works, and in Mr. Strutt's mill upwards of eight years. If you are not provided for, should be glad to serve you; though I am in the New York manufactory, and have been for three weeks since I arrived from England. But we have but one card, two...
Strana 46 - States., of a quality and deanness suitable to be wrought ly machines* and partly as a bounty on cotton goods of the kind manufactured in the United States ; . . . . and it is the desire of those concerned this Way, that you, being the first and largest, would take the lead, and devise such plan as may be most eligible to effect the purpose.
Strana 6 - Company, whether callico be linnen or no ; which he says it is, having been ever esteemed so : they say it is made of cotton woole, and grows upon trees, not like flax or hemp. But it was carried against the Company, though they stand out against the verdict.
Strana 62 - In 1813, there were not more than one hundred of the latter machines, and 2400 of the former in use. Yet this was enough to alarm the hand-loom weavers, who, attributing to machinery the distress caused by the Orders in Council and the American war, made riotous opposition to all new machines, and broke the power-looms set up at West Houghton, Middleton, and other places.
Strana 48 - ... quality and quantity of the yarn, that their progress was suspended till I could procure a person who had wrought or seen them wrought in Europe, for as yet we had not. Late in the fall I received a letter from a young man, then lately arrived at New York, from Arkwright's works in England, informing me, his situation, that he could hear of no perpetual spinning mills on the continent but mine, and proposed to come and work them. I wrote him and he came accordingly ; but on viewing the mills...
