The Basis of Mr. Samuel Crompton's Claims to a Second Remuneration From Parliament for His Discovery of the Mule Spinnin, (Paperback)

First published in 1862, this report by John Brown investigates the legal and ethical implications of Samuel Crompton's invention of the mule spinning machine. Crompton claimed that he was entitled to a second remuneration from the British Parliament for his invention, but faced opposition from his competitors and the government. This report provides a detailed analysis of Crompton's claim and offers insights into the complex legal and economic landscape of the early Industrial Revolution. An important milestone in the history of British technology and intellectual property law, this report remains an essential resource for scholars and historians today.
