Encyclopedia entries on cotton and cotton mills from Pantalogia (1819). They cover cotton as a commodity, its sources and grades, and the mechanization of spinning (Hargreaves' jenny, Arkwright's water frame and carding engines, the mule). They also describe New Lanark mills, the Lancashire process from picking and carding through weaving, bleaching, printing and cutting, a contrast with Indian hand methods, and statistics on British cotton imports and employment.
