Textiles

10 Volumes

The IUP Textiles set presents the reports of successive Select Committees appointed to investigate several aspects of the textile industry from 1800 to 1850. The early reports deal with old laws and statues which were hampering the changeover from cottage to factory manufacture. The underlying principle of the reports was that undue restriction on industrial expansion should be removed. In the later reports recommendations on job mobility, emigration and education, which were to be important afterwards, were tentatively made.
