THE
AMEEICAN COTTON SPINNER,
AND
Preface
The large amount of capital invested in cotton plantations, in mill-seats, buildings, water-works, steam-engines, and all the machinery required for the manufacture of cotton goods, the number of persons that are employed in perfecting these manufactures, and the value of the articles manufactured, all entitle the cotton manufacture in this country to a claim upon our particular attention.
It is evident that the manufacture of cotton has become a very important branch of our national industry, and that a practical work upon this subject, the first of the kind published in this country, explanatory of the movements of cotton machinery, and of the various processes used in the manufacture of the goods, together with plain and practical rules for ascertaining the best modes of operating the various complicated machines used in this highly important manufacture, cannot fail to be interesting to all the parties engaged therein.
This work is intended for the mutual advantage of employers and operatives ; and, as the interests and welfare of both are inseparably identified, the motto, "united we stand, divided we fall," is truly applicable to cotton growers, mill owners, and operative cotton spinners.
