A chapter on cotton manufactures from David Bremner's The Industries of Scotland (1869), tracing the history of the British cotton trade from early references in 1641 through the inventions of Kay, Wyatt, Arkwright, Hargreaves and Crompton. It covers the introduction of cotton spinning and weaving into Scotland (first mill at Rothesay, 1778; David Dale and New Lanark), the muslin trade, weavers' and spinners' combinations, strikes and riots, and the effects of the American Civil War and cotton famine. It includes statistical tables of imports, exports and factories by county, and ends with a description of a Glasgow cotton mill and its machines (carding, drawing, roving, throstle and mule spinning).
