Synopsis
The Life And Times Of Samuel Crompton Inventor Of The Spinning Machine Called The Mule: With An Appendix Of Original Documents, Including A Paper On The Origin Of Spinning By Rollers, Read By Robert Cole, To The British Association For The Advancement Of Science. (With Portrait And Facsimile) by Gilbert James French. This biography chronicles the life of Samuel Crompton, the Bolton-born inventor whose mule spinning machine transformed cotton manufacture. It traces his early life at Firwood and Hall-in-the-Wood, his education and solitary pursuits, and the gradual development of his revolutionary machine amid social upheaval and riots. The narrative follows Crompton’s personal circle, including his family, his mother’s industrious example, and his friendships, while detailing his trials in securing recognition and compensation for his invention. The work also situates Crompton within the broader history of spinning technology, from the fly-shuttle to rollers, Arkwright’s factory system, and the subsequent factory revolution. An extensive Appendix contains original documents, including Robert Cole’s account of Louis Paul’s roller-spinning invention, together with memorials, petitions, and biographical materials that illuminate the invention’s impact on industry and society.
