While yet a boy he lost his See also:father, and had to contribute to the See also:family resources by See also:spinning See also:yarn. The defects of the spinning jenny imbued him with the See also:idea of devising something better, and for five or six years the effort absorbed all his spare See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time and See also:money, including what he earned by playing the See also:violin at the Bolton See also:theatre. About 1779 he succeeded in producing a See also:machine which span yarn suitable for use in the manufacture of See also:muslin, and which was known as the muslin See also:wheel or the See also:- HALL

After his See also:marriage in 178o a See also:good demand arose for the yarn which he himself made at Hall-in-the-Wood, but the prying to which his methods were subjected drove him, in the See also:absence of means to take out a patent, to the choice of destroying his machine or making it public. He adopted the latter alternative on the promise of a number of manufacturers to pay him for the use of the mule, but all he received was about £6o. He then resumed spinning on his own See also:account, but with indifferent success. In 'Soo a sum of £500 was raised for his benefit by subscription, and when in 1809 See also:Edmund See also:Cartwright, the inventor of the See also:power-See also:loom obtained £1o,000 from See also:parliament, he determined also to apply for a See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

In 1811 he made a tour in the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and See also:Scotland to collect See also:evidence showing how extensively his mule was used, and in 1812 parliament allowed him £5000. With the aid of this money he embarked in business, first as a bleacher and then as a See also:cotton See also:merchant and spinner, but again without success. In 1824 some See also:friends, without his knowledge, bought him an See also:annuity of £63. He died at Bolton on the 26th of See also:June 1827.
