Description

Excerpt from The Cotton Manufacturers, Managers, and Spinners' New Pocket Guide: Containing Examples of the Various Calculations Connected With the Machinery of a Cotton Mill, Through All Its Various Operations From the Raw Material to the Loom Some explanation may be necessary respecting the appearance of this little work at the present time, when it is considered that many able works, and of larger growth, have long been before the public, containing all the necessary calculations con useted with machinery in spinning and manufacturing cotton. Under these circumstances the reader may easily imagine that, the only chance left for a new author, is to depreciate the value of those works, to all intents and purposes, and set about exalting his own with equal assurance. Such, however, shall not be the case in the present instance; indeed, it would be folly to speak disparagingly concerning the labours of others on this subject. The strongest apology, if apology was necessary, arises from the fact of the rapid and continual progress, as well as increase of machinery, which must. Necessarily have a tendency to increase the demand for productions of this kind, were they even entirely devoid of originality. The next. Reason is, that although the body of the work may contain calculations analogous to those of most other works, yet the reader, on looking over these pages, will find examples of calculations which he will not recognise as being already threadbare. Believing that, along aith the advancement of the age in general literature, there is also an increased thirst, in factory operatives, after the required knowledge in their respective departments, - which knowledge better enables them to discharge the responsibilities of their several situations. I have endeavoured to respond to this desire from my own conviction, as well as at the solicitation of several friends, who owned with me that there was yet more room, both in the field and the market, provided the commodity was cultivated to the taste, and brought within the reach of all. The work, such as it is, without further ceremony, I now offer to the public, whose praise or censure is the great ordeal of every undertaking, from the smallest to the largest.
