Excerpt from The Cotton Centennial, 1790-1890: Cotton and Its Uses, the Inception and Development of the Cotton Industries of America, and a Full Account of the Pawtucket Cotton Centenary Celebration In tracing the relation of events, it was found necessary, in connection with an extended account of the Centenary Celebration, to give a short Sketch of the history of Pawtucket, the growth of its industries. And its present condition and future prospects. Following along naturally, the rest of Rhode Island claimed attention, since here the industry originally centered, and has since always continued prominent, while the chief city, Providence, owes its develop. Ment to the manufacture. The great cotton manufacturing centres throughout New England then came in for mention, and in conclusion a sketch of the progress of the industry throughout the country is presented. The first four chapters and the last three, with the exception of portions of chapters three and nine, and the descriptive notices at the end of chapters eight and nine, were written by Mr. Robert Grieve, of Providence. The fifth, sixth and seventh chapters, a considerable part of the eighth and a portion of the third, were written and com piled by Mr. John P. Fernald, of Boston, who also wrote nearly all the descriptive notices of industries at the end of the various chapters.

In 1847 Joseph Banigan, an Irish Potato Famine refugee, established himself in Rhode Island as an entrepreneur. This was a time when "No Irish Need Apply" signs abounded and discrimination against the Irish and other immigrants--institutionalized in the constitution of his adopted state--hindered voting and other human rights. Bucking this trend and belying his humble origins, Banigan succeeded spectacularly in the emerging local rubber footwear industry, becoming the president of the United States Rubber Company--one of the nation's major cartels, and New England's first Irish-Catholic millionaire. Backed by primary and secondary research on two continents, Molloy's inquiry into Bannigan's notoriety and success singularly codifies and elucidates the Irish-American experience during this critical period in American labor history.

Labor and Laborers of the Loom: Mechanization and Handloom Weavers 1780-1840 develops several themes important to understanding the social, cultural and economic implications of industrialization. The examination of these issues within a population of extra-factory workers distinguishes this study. The volume centers on the rapid growth of handloom weaving in response to the introduction of water powered spinning. This change is viewed from the perspectives of mechanics, technological limitations, characteristics of weaving, skills, income and cost. In the works of Duncan Bythell and Norman Murray the displacement of British and Scottish hand weavers loomed large and the silence of American handloom weavers in similar circumstances was deafening. This study reflects the differences between the three culture by centering not on displacement but on survival. Persistence is closely tied to the gradual nature of technological change. The contrasts between independent commercial artisans and outwork weavers are striking. Displacement occurs but only among artisans devoting their time to independent workshop weaving. Alternatively outwork weavers adapted to changing markets and survived. The design and development of spinning and weaving device is stressed, as are the roles of economic conditions, management organization, size of firms, political implications and social factors contribute to the impact of technological change on outwork and craft weavers.
