ABSTRACT

The particular advantages to be derived by visiting the Exhibition, by all those employed in preparing and manufacturing cotton goods, will be, that Bol-ton, Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast, Carlisle, and Dundalk, will each and all be in friendly competition in workmanship, raw material, and variety of pattern; and will also be found in rivalship with the foreign producers of such goods. Manchester challenges the whole world to compete with her in the art of spinning and weaving cottons, for she can spin, out of one pound of cotton wool, 253,000 yards, or more than 140 miles of a thread, and she is perhaps weaving more cloth in one week, of different descriptions, than would encompass the planet we inhabit.
