Excerpt from Samuel Slater and the Early Development of the Cotton Manufacture in the United States D. 124, speaks of the perfection to which, with rude apparatus, the fabrication of cotton cloth was brought. The webs of woven air, as he styles the finest text ures, are still made, according to modern travelers, in the same districts with machines nearly identical with those used two thousand years ago, the product being of the same marvelous delicacy and beauty, not sur passed, rarely equaled, by all the appliances of modern invention. These wonderful fabrics illustrate the say ing ofa Hindoo writer, that the first, the best, and the most perfect of instruments is the human hand.
