Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lancashire Worthies The spinning-mule, invented by Samuel Crompton, has more than any single machine contributed to the progress and prosperity of the cotton manufacture, through the inventor himself profited little by the successful ingenuity and labour which helped to enrich his county and his country. Indeed, of the three men - Hargreaves, Arkwright, and Crompton - who may be grouped together as the originators of modern cotton-spinning, Arkwright alone accumulated wealth, and this because in business faculty he was greatly the superior of his two contemporaries. The operations of the founder of the factory system were, it is true, far more extensive than those of the investors of the jenny and the mule.
