The Tennessee Historical Society

the Memoir OF Samuel Slater. The
iather OF American manufacturers,
connected with a history OF the rise
and progress Of the cotton mauulae.
turc in England and Americs; with
remarks on the moral influence Of
manufactures in the United States.
By George s. White, Philadelphia,
1896"
samuel Slater was born in Beper,
England, june ., l768, was appren.
ticed to Jeddiah Street, of Milford.
County OF Derby, in l763, to learn the
cotton spinning business. Mr..
Street was the inventor OF the
Derby ribbed stocking machine,
and vas for several years a partner Of
the celebrated Sir Richard Arkwright
in the cotton spinning business. Young
Slater was such a good boy. 20 we'll up
10 figures. aud had such an inventive
and progressive mind that he was Of
immense service to his master. Think
log that the cotton business would
soon be overdone in England, be de
cided to emigrate to the United States
and left Derbyshire tor London on tie
LIST Of September, 1889, and sailed for
America on the 18th, reaching this
country after a voyage Of sixty six
days. He went to Pr violence, r. l..
in January, 1890, aud subsequently,
entered into a working agreement with
Abrd & Brown, and fnally made from
memory alhthe Arkwright machinery
for use in this country. The wonder
tul progress OF the business, aud the
still more wonderful skill OF Samuel
Slater, with a lull history of ali the
earlier manufactures in the United
States. are detailed in this book.
The Tennessee Historical Socie-
ty has in its possession
one of the pieces Of iron used by Sla-
ter in the first spinning jeunies, pre-
sented by Mr.: Taher, through Judge
james Whitwortb, both of whom are
connected with the Tennessee Manu-
featuring Company, in this city, and
whose success in cotton manufacture
has been established. Mr.. Taber is
the mechanic whose talents and skill
has brought the factory up from its
infancy to its present tide OF prospect
ty. What would Samuel Slater think
now If he were TO arise from the dead,
Of seeing over fifty millions Of dollars
employed in the Southern States
alone, running more than a million
and a quarter Of spindles2 And what,
too, would be lis surprise to sec a
much larger amount of money and o
far greater number of spindles in the
Northern States? All these cotton
mills, with their thousands of opera.
