Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Instructive Entertaining Tracts, Vol. 8: New and Revised Edition
The long - looked - for year of emancipation from the thraldom Of the mill at last arrived. He had been bound for seven years, and it was now the seventh. It became, therefore, requisite to point out some other mode Of future life, which could be conveniently embraced. This it was difficult to do. William had received little or no educa tion, and what trade of a superior kind could he expect to follow? His taste pointed to the profession of a gardener but this his father objected to. He next, in desperation,' proposed to be a stocking weaver with his uncle, George Hutton, in Nottingham. Here again his father demurred but William felt the necessity for decision, and on the expiry of his time at the mill, in 1738, he went to Nottingham, and entered himself in the employment of his uncle.
