The early English cotton industry

"The Early English Cotton Industry" by George W. Daniels is a historical exploration of how the cotton industry grew in England from the late 1600s to the early 1800s. The book starts by showing how important textile work was to England's economy and how things changed from making goods at home to using factories. Daniels points out important people, like Samuel Crompton, and explains how they helped the industry get better. The author's goal is to explain the big social and economic changes that happened as the cotton industry became more popular and how this led to England becoming an industrial nation; to do that, the book starts off with the author explaining why he wrote the book and thanking those that helped him with his research.
