Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Town of Pawtucket In writing the following sketch I have tried to fulfill the wishes of both our National and State legislators. I suppose that the desire of Congress in recommending the writing of local histories on this Centennial year, was to secure for preservation an outline of the experiences of the various towns and cities in the work of planting and forming their little municipalities, and to show what growth they have attained. I presume that the special desire of the General Assembly of our State was to embody, in addition to the information named, an account of the industrial affairs of the various towns in our Commonwealth. To learn what branches of manufacture have been established among us, what inventions have been perfected, and what development productive industry has attained, is one result they had in view. I have therefore prepared a sketch. The time allotted me was too short to undertake anything more. To read the records of two or three towns for centuries, to ransack the archives of our State and of the shire town of Bristol county, to examine land titles and old manuscripts, would be pleasant for a man of an antiquarian taste, but would demand months of toil. Were a voluminous history of the town desired, however, all this and more would be demanded. But as I do not suppose that this was what our legislators desired, I have proposed to myself a less ambitious aim. Without undertaking much original research, I have gleaned from books and papers the more interesting facts pertaining to the town, and condensed and arranged them in a convenient form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Early New England written by David A. Weir and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of covenant was at the heart of early New England society. In this singular book David Weir explores the origins and development of covenant thought in America by analyzing the town and church documents written and signed by seventeenth-century New Englanders. Unmatched in the breadth of its scope, this study takes into account all of the surviving covenants in all of the New England colonies. Weir's comprehensive survey of seventeenth-century covenants leads to a more complex picture of early New England than what emerges from looking at only a few famous civil covenants like the Mayflower Compact. His work shows covenant theology being transformed into a covenantal vision for society but also reveals the stress and strains on church-state relationships that eventually led to more secularized colonial governments in eighteenth-century New England. He concludes that New England colonial society was much more "English" and much less "American" than has often been thought, and that the New England colonies substantially mirrored religious and social change in Old England.
