Inventor of the powerloom and the carding machine, born in Nottinghamshire; bred for the Church; his invention, at first violently opposed, to his ruin for the time being, is now universally adopted; a grant of £10,000 was made him by Parliament in considera tion of his services and in compensation for his losses; he had a turn for versifying as well as mechanical invention (1743-1823).
