Analyzation of "The History of the Cotton Manufacture in Great Britain"

"The History of the Cotton Manufacture in Great Britain" Edward Baines

The article ws written in 1835, but was set around the life Richard Arkwright, the inventor of the spinning frame and founder of the cotton factories. It is obviously meant to inspire others to become inventors and entrepreneurs. It's audience was people of all classes, but especially the poorer classes. This biography is a rags-to-riches story. It is a reflection of the entreprenurial spirit of the early Industrial Revolution. Britain was on a high from all the economic growth that the industrial boom gave, and thus encouraged more to invent despite the cost.
