第58章 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE GENERAL(1)

A clear, non-technical discussion of the basis of all industrial progress is "Power", by Charles E.Lucke (1911), which discusses the general principle of the substitution of power for the labor of men.Many of the references given in "Colonial Folkways", by C.M.Andrews ("The Chronicles of America", vol.IX), are valuable for an understanding of early industrial conditions.The general course of industry and commerce in the United States is briefly told by Carroll D.Wright in "The Industrial Evolution of the United States" (1907), by E.L.Bogart in "The Economic History of the United States" (1920), and by Katharine Coman in "The Industrial History of the United States" (1911)."ADocumentary History of American Industrial Society", 10 vols.

(1910-11), edited by John R.Commons, is a mine of material.See also Emerson D.Fite, "Social and Industrial Conditions in the North During the Civil War" (1910).The best account of the inventions of the nineteenth century is "The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century" by Edward W.Byrn (1900).

George Iles in "Leading American Inventors" (1912) tells the story of several important inventors and their work.The same author in "Flame, Electricity and the Camera" (1900) gives much valuable information.

CHAPTER I

The primary source of information on Benjamin Franklin is contained in his own writings.These were compiled and edited by Jared Sparks, "The Works of...Franklin...with Notes and a Life of the Author", 10 vols.(1836-40); and later by John Bigelow, "The Complete Works of Benjamin Franklin; including His Private as well as His Official and Scientific Correspondence, and Numerous Letters and Documents Now for the First Time Printed, with Many Others not included in Any Former Collection, also, the Unmutilated and Correct Version of His Autobiography", 10 vols.(1887-88).Consult also James Parton, "The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin", 2 vols.(1864); S.G.Fisher, "The True Benjamin Franklin" (1899); Paul Leicester Ford, "The Many-Sided Franklin" (1899); John T.Morse, "Benjamin Franklin"(1889) in the "American Statesmen" series; and Lindsay Swift, "Benjamin Franklin" (1910) in "Beacon Biographies.On the Patent Office: Henry L.Ellsworth, A Digest of Patents Issued by the United States from 1790 to January 1, 1839" (Washington, 1840);also the regular Reports and publications of the United States Patent Office.

CHAPTER II

The first life of Eli Whitney is the "Memoir" by Denison Olmsted (1846), and a collection of Whitney's letters about the cotton gin may be found in "The American Historical Review", vol.III(1897)."Eli Whitney and His Cotton Gin," by M.F.Foster, is included in the "Transactions of the New England Cotton Manufacturers' Association", no.67 (October, 1899).See also Dwight Goddard, "A Short Story of Eli Whitney" (1904); D.A.

Tompkins, "Cotton and Cotton Oil" (1901); James A.B.Scherer, "Cotton as a World Power" (1916); E.C.Bates, "The Story of the Cotton Gin" (1899), reprinted from "The New England Magazine", May, 1890; and Eugene Clyde Brooks, "The Story of Cotton and the Development of the Cotton States" (1911).

CHAPTER III

Grant, "Watt and the Steam Age" (1917).On Fulton: R.H.

CHAPTER IV

On the general subject of cotton manufacture and machinery, see:

J.L.Bishop, "History of American Manufactures from 1608 to 1860", 3 vols.(1864-67); Samuel Batchelder, "Introduction and Early Progress of the Cotton Manufacture in the United States"(1863); James Montgomery, "A Practical Detail of the Cotton Manufacture of the United States of America" (1840); Melvin T.

Copeland, "The Cotton Manufacturing Industry of the United States" (1912); and John L.Hayes, "American Textile Machinery"(1879).Harriet H.Robinson, "Loom and Spindle" (1898), is a description of the life of girl workers in the early factories written by one of them.Charles Dickens, "American Notes", Chapter IV, is a vivid account of the life in the Lowell mills.

See also Nathan Appleton, "Introduction of the Power Loom and Origin of Lowell" (1858); H.A.Miles, "Lowell, as It Was, and as It Is" (1845), and G.S.White, "Memoir of Samuel Slater" (1836).

Other farm inventions are covered in: William Macdonald, "Makers of Modern Agriculture" (1913); Emile Guarini, "The Use of Electric Power in Plowing" in The "Electrical Review", vol.

    季节已是深秋,湛蓝的天上挂着几片白云,远处的树林里传来几声有气无力的蝉鸣,放眼望去,苍茫的大地上看不到一丝丰收景象。奉天通往沧州的官道上,三匹大马疾驰而过,腾起阵阵灰尘,留下一路急促的蹄音。夕阳西下,人困马疲,三匹马不由得放慢了脚步。马背上的三个壮汉解开了胸扣,一阵凉风吹过,顿觉全身舒爽。边上的一位窄脸汉子一边抹着脸上的汗珠,一边向中间那个圆脸汉子发着牢骚:“马特使,这个黄士海究竟是何许人也,竟让袁大人这样折服,让我们不远千里前来相请?我看练兵处大人府里的几个日本和德国的洋武士就很了得,难道他比这几个洋人还厉害吗?”
