THIS talk opens a new series by Mr. Edward
Cressy (who is already well known in London and the North of England) on the growth of industry—a subject a little knowledge of which makes it much easier to understand our complex industrial organization of the present day. hi this first talk he will deal with textile manufacture, which more than any uther wns revolutionized by the change from domestic production to large-scale factory organization reinforced by mechanical invention—which. of us does not remember reading of Hargreaves's Jenny and Crompton's Mule ?—and the coming of steam.
