George Dawson, in his lecture on “Ill-used Men,” notes the shameful
neglect that befell the famous inventor of the spinning jenny that
revolutionized the textile industry:
Poor Hargreaves died in a workhouse; his wife, a widow, sunk
into that black mass of under-current which ever underruns the
tide of England’s prosperity; and thus the man whose labors gave
England the greatest wealth she ever possest, sunk into oblivion
unrewarded.
