Includes frontispiece and all fold-outs. Boards lightly soiled. 1840 Hard Cover. xi, 219 pp., 8 fold-out plates and 2-page publisher advertisement follow text, engraved frontispiece of York Factories in Saco, Maine. "The author was superintendent of the York factories, Saco." An account of the machinery used in cotton mills, and the relative merits of manufacturing in the United States vs. Great Britain. Because the work focuses on the spinning of cotton at mills rather than the harvesting of cotton at plantations, the controversy surrounding American slave labor is neatly avoided. It's unclear whether this was intentional, or even whether the question was of any concern to the author.

Normal aging and embossed library stamp on title and folding plates. Overall in pretty good condition. Montgomery (1792-1880) presents considerable data, a good portion in numerous tables, on the different aspects of the cost of manufacturing cotton. He looks at manufacturing costs in several locations in America, including Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. He argues that because factories in Great Britain are already as cost efficient as they can be; only additional technical advancement could improve their economies. By contrast, he felt that American factories could improve their cost structure without significant investment by managing them a little differently. Sabin 51049
