Excerpt from A Lecture on the Mechanical Industry and the Inventive Genius of America
The paper mill, with a cylindrical engine was also invented in France in 1630, and carried to Holland, where it remained in use a century and a half before it was allowed to return.
The stocking loom was invented at N ismas; but the inventor, thwarted in his attempts to bring it into use in France, went over to England, where he was richly rewarded for his importation of this valuable machine, but was near losing the credit of his ingenuity through the then existing jealousy against Frenchmen, which impelled the English to attempt transferring the merit to one of their own countrymen. Further examples might be cited of the discouragement offered to the introduction of the woollen, cotton and Ewen manufacture at Nantes, the japan ware making, the calico printing, the coining dies, the gauze loom, the art of cotton dyeing, and several other branches long retarded or absolutely expelled from the land to find protec 431011 in other parts of the world.
