Synopsis

Discover the story of a textile pivot that changed industry and markets worldwide. This rigorous history explains the rise, progress, and current position of the shoddy cloth trade, a manufacture that blends waste materials with wool to produce affordable fabrics for daily wear. Learn how this peerless industrial concept reshaped production, commerce, and labor in 19th-century Britain.

This edition traces the origins century by century, examines key districts, and explains how new machines and practices influenced output, wages, and quality. It presents both the criticisms and the economic value of the trade, offering a balanced view of its impact on trade, employment, and regional growth.

- How shoddy and mungo cloths are created from reclaimed materials
- The role of machinery like the mule and power loom in expanding production
- The geographic spread of the trade and its effect on local economies
- The social and economic forces shaping its rise, decline, and ongoing relevance

Ideal for readers of industrial history, textile production, and economic development in 19th-century Britain.

The History of the Shoddy-Trade: Its Rise, Progress, and Present Position by Samuel Jubb offers a detailed portrait of a pivotal chapter in manufacturing and trade.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The work, though necessarily incomplete from want of data, and faulty as a composition from the writers inexperience as an author, will, it is hoped, supply in some measure the void in literature, and the want of any book of reference, as regards the shoddy-trade ;and serve as the basis of a better treatise o Hthe subject, on the part of some one more competent to the task, and possessing leisure to devote to the undertaking.
