Excerpt from History of the Cotton Manufacture in Great Britain: With a Notice of Its Early History in the East, and in All the Quarters of the Globe
These remarks apply with peculiar force to the arts by which clothing is produced, and, above all, to the Cotton Manufacture of England, which is the very creature of mechanical invention and chemical discovery, and which has, in its turn, rendered the most important service to science, as well as increased the wealth and power of the country.

Excerpt from History of the Cotton Manufacture in Great Britain: With a Notice of Its Early History in the East, and in All the Quarters of the Globe
The history of civilization consists greatly ill the history of the Useful Arts. These arts form the basis of social improvement. By their means men are raised above abject want, become possessed of comforts and luxuries, and acquire the leisure necessary to cultivate the higher departments of knowledge. There is also an intimate connexion between the arts and natural science. Mutually aiding each other, they go hand in hand in the course of improvement. The manufactory, the laboratory, and the study of the natural philosopher, are in close practical conjunction. Without the aid of science, the arts would be contemptible: without practical application, science would consist only of barren theories, which men would have no motive to pursue.
These remarks apply with peculiar force to the arts by which clothing is produced, and, above all, to the Cotton Manufacture of England, which is the very creature of mechanical invention and chemical discovery, and which has, in its turn, rendered the most important service to science, as well as increased the wealth and power of the country.
The subject of this volume may therefore claim attention from the man of science and the political philosopher, as well as from the manufacturer and merchant.
