Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lamb's Textile Industries of the United States, Vol. 1: Embracing Biographical Sketches of Prominent Men and a Historical Resume of the Progress of Textile Manufacture From the Earliest Records to the Present Time At the head of the textile manufactures of the world we must place cotton, as much for its diversity of production as for its amount; for no one article of manufacture so dominates the prosperity of the world at large as does the product of the wonderful plant gossypium. For this reason the initial volumes of this series are devoted to cotton, as being by far the most important of all textile industries, especially to the United States. Which provides over sixty - nine per cent of the raw material consumed throughout the entire world in the cotton industry.
