  • Catherine Cartwright's Account of Labrador Inuit in England
    ARCTIC VOL. 63, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2010) P. 399–413 “Our Amazing Visitors”: Catherine Cartwright’s Account of Labrador Inuit in England M. STOPP1 and G. MITCHELL2 (Received 16 December 2009; accepted in revised form 7 April 2010) ABSTRACT. New material about Inuit who visited England in the 18th century was recently discovered in a British archive. Presented here are three letters written in 1773 by Catherine Cartwright, sister of Captain George Cartwright of Labrador fame. The letters describe and discuss the group of five Inuit who came to England with the latter in the autumn of 1772. All of the Inuit party but one died of smallpox at the outset of their return voyage to Labrador early the following summer. A fourth letter, written a year later by an M. Stowe, a family relation, contains information about George Cartwright’s return to Labrador with Caubvick, the lone Inuit survivor. These letters contain new information about the Inuit visit that is both firsthand and enriched with personal observation and opinion. As microhistorical data, the letters contribute to broader historical discussions of Inuit- European relations, Inuit society, Inuit agency in the changing economics of the late 18th century, and the perspectives of Europeans and their fascination with indigenous peoples. Key words: Labrador Inuit, Tooklavinia, Attuiock, Caubvick, Ickongoque, Ickeuna, George Cartwright, Catherine Cartwright RÉSUMÉ. De la documentation au sujet d’Inuits qui s’étaient rendus en Angleterre au XVIIIe siècle a fait l’objet d’une récente découverte dans des archives britanniques.

  • A Reappraisal Using a Composite Indicator of Patent Quality∗
    Patterns of Innovation during the Industrial Revolution: a Reappraisal using a Composite Indicator of Patent Quality∗ Alessandro Nuvolari†a, Valentina Tartarib, and Matteo Trancheroc aScuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa, Italy bCopenhagen Business School, Copenhagen, Denmark cHaas School of Business, UC Berkeley, USA August 5, 2019 Abstract We introduce a new bibliographic quality indicator for English patents granted in the period 1700-1850. The indicator is based on the visibility of each patent both in the contemporary legal and engineering literature and in modern authoritative works on the history of science and technology. The indicator permits to operationalize empirically the distinction between micro- and macroinventions. Our findings indicate that macroinventions did not exhibit any specific time clustering, while at the same time they were characterized by a labor-saving bias. These results suggest that Mokyr's and Allen's views of macroinventions, rather than conflicting, should be regarded as complementary. Keywords: Industrial Revolution; Patents; Macroinventions; Microinventions.

  • A Short History of the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Battle
    A Short History of the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Battle After the foundation of Battle Abbey the town of Battle grew around it, at first servicing the abbey, finally obtaining its own momentum to grow even bigger. There was a need for markets, forges, tanneries, shoemakers, bakers, masons, farmers and every other trade. The spiritual needs of the population would at first have been provided by the abbey. At first the abbey would have shared its church with the people, but as Battle grew larger the increasing numbers of thronging the nave would have interfered with the abbey's religious purpose as a Benedictine monastery. So the abbey started building a chapel for the town sometime between 1102 and 1107. The monks, during the inter-abbacy of 1102-1107 or otherwise abbot Ralph immediately after his appointment in 1107 would have taken the active decision to provide the townsfolk with their own church building. The monks would have serviced the church at first but in 1115 a priest Humphridus, was appointed by the abbot to be their vicar. We even know where Humphridus lived, which was the 89th messuage belonging to the abbey estate, three properties to the east of St Mary's in the borough of Sandlake1 (on the north side of the present Upper Lake). The priest was expected to pay seven pence per year for this dwelling and also provide at least one day’s labour. From this point (1115) forwards, according to the Chronicle of Battle Abbey (CBA), the chaplain of St Mary's Church was a secular priest and not a monk.

  • The Power Loom Puzzle
    4 The Power Loom Puzzle The Industrial Revolution was heralded by a flood of inventions and the accumulation of capital which, in new forms, constituted enormous power with which to produce wealth. Innovation was in the air. People were searching for new ways of producing goods at cheaper cost. The conveyor belt was born. Mass production based on the division of labour and the use of mechanical power could have raised the living standards of everybody. Sadly, for the workers, this was not to be: • . without the increase in productive power that is due to industrialization the rise in real wages could not possibly have occurred. The important question is why it was so long delayed. There is no doubt at all that it was delayed; whether there was a small rise, or an actual fall, in the general level of real wages in England between (say) 1780 and 1840 leaves that issue untouched It is the lag of wages behind industrialization which is the thing that has to be explained.' Explanations for this have been partial and none have taken into account the regressive effect of land monopoly. The Marxist critique has conditioned us to believe that capital and the motives of its owners constitute the problematic area. The acquisitive greed of the capitalists is held to be responsible for large- scale poverty and deprivation. From the outset the modern factory system has been blamed. Men had been severed from a tranquil, pastoral history and the machine was nominated as Enemy No. 1. Yet this was ironical, for the machine was as much a victim of the early years of industrial society as were the men.

  • English Cotton Textile Production from John Kay (1733)
    The Precocious Mechanization of a Global History: English Cotton Textile Production from John Kay (1733) to Richard Roberts (1822)* Patrick Karl O’Brien ‘Dining in a public room, Cartwright became deeply interested in a conversation which was started on the subject of the remarkable inventions of Arkwright and others, and that the consequent extension of manufactures in the neighbourhood and throughout the country. It was urged, however, by one gentleman that Arkwright’s cotton-spinning machinery was not an unmixed blessing, seeing that we should soon be making more yarn than our weaver could work up, with the result that it would have to be largely exported to the Continent, and might there be woven into cloth so cheaply as greatly to injure the English trade. At this point, Dr Cartwright ventured the remark that the only remedy for such evil would be to apply the power of machinery to the art of weaving as well as to that of spinning. The notion was set down as absurd; some Manchester gentlemen, who were presumed to have special knowledge of the subject, being more emphatic in its condemnation, contending that such a contrivance was impossible, on account of the variety and intricacy of the movements in weaving. Against this Cartwright instanced the automaton chess-player, a curiosity then attracting much attention, and argued that a skilful application of mechanism could surmount every difficulty. They were not convinced, but he was; and when he returned home he could think of nothing else. After much brooding, he bent all his energies to the task of constructing the model of a power-loom, working incessantly in his rough and awkward way for several months, but steadily improving step by step, until at last, in April 1785, he took out a patent for the first of all power-looms.’ Margaret Strickland, A Memoir of the Life, Writings and Inventions of Edmund Cartwright (ed.

Allen Global Distinguished Professor of Economic History Faculty of Social Science New York University Abu Dhabi P.O. Box 129188 Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates Senior Research Fellow Oxford University Nuffield College New Road Oxford OX1 1NH United Kingdom [email protected] The empirics of this paper rest on John Lyon’s Ph.D. dissertation The Lancashire Cotton Industry and the Introduction of this Powerloom, 1815-1850. This is an impressively well informed and thorough reconstruction of the technology and economics of the industry. This paper could not have been written without it. John Lyons sadly died in 2011. I dedicate the paper to him. This is a revised version of a discussion paper originally issued as Oxford University, Working Papers in Economic and Social History, Number 142, 2016 2017 Abstract Robert C. Allen The Hand Loom Weaver and the Power Loom: A Schumpeterian Perspective , Schumpeter’s ‘perennial gale of creative destruction’ blew strongly through Britain during the Industrial Revolution, as the factory mode of production displaced the cottage mode in many industries. A famous example is the shift from hand loom weaving to the use of power looms in mills. As the use of power looms expanded, the price of cloth fell, and the ‘golden age of the hand loom weaver’ gave way to poverty and unemployment.
