4. To understand the importance of the Industrial Revolution, you have to know what life was like before it. SECTION 1 Origins of the Industrial Revolution Many things had remained unchanged for centuries. Life was mainly based on farming, with families producing enough for their own needs. Craftspeople also worked on a local level, making and mending things for their neighbors with little contact with the outside world.
5. The slow pace of life was hardly different from that of the Middle Ages. SECTION 1 Origins of the Industrial Revolution Water mills, windmills, and horses or oxen provided the only extra power, and most work was still down by hand. Few people realized that all this was set to change.

Editor's Notes
At this time most grain seed was sown by hand. Field hands carried bags of seeds from which they would grab a handful of seed and broadcast (spread) out over the plowed field. Tull realized that this method was very wasteful, since most of the seeds would be blown away and/or eaten by birds before they ever had a chance to take root. Frustrated by his inability to develop a more efficient hand-sowing method, Tull turned his attention to devising a mechanized seed drill. In 1701, he invented the horse-drawn seed drill. A rotating cylinder had grooves cut into it to allow seed to pass from the hopper above to a funnel below. The seed was then directed into a channel dug by a plow at the front of the machine, and then covered by a harrow attached to the rear. Although it took several years for English farmers to embrace the machine, Tull's design remained the standard for over a century.
He found that turnips could be rotated with wheat, barley, clover, and ryegrass to make soil more fertile and increase yields, and thus became known as the man responsible for introducing turnip cultivation into England.
Domestic System In the 18th Century the production of textiles was the most important industry in Britain. Most of the work was carried out in the home and was often combined with farming. There were three main stages to making cloth: carding , spinning and weaving . Most cloth was made from either wool or cotton , but other materials such as silk and flax were also used. The woven cloth was sold to merchants called clothiers who visited the village with their trains of pack-horses. Some of the cloth was made into clothes for people living in this country. However, a large amount of cloth was exported.
It was the first powered, automatic, and continuous textile machine and enabled the move away from small home manufacturing towards factory production. Workers put in a certain numbers of hours each day for a fixed pay.
When the power loom became efficient, women replaced most men as weavers in the textile factories. Workers put in a certain numbers of hours each day for a fixed pay.
While Eli Whitney is best remembered as the inventor of the cotton gin, it is often forgotten that he was also the father of the mass production method. In 1798 he figured out how to manufacture muskets by machine so that the parts were interchangeable. It was as a manufacturer of muskets that Whitney finally became rich. If his genius led King Cotton to triumph in the South, it also created the technology with which the North won the Civil War.
The Victorians were acutely aware of the power of the image to communicate complex ideas to audiences, and to influence their perceptions of the age in which they lived. The cartoon shown here, an allegory on the significance of steam power in the Victorian era, is a good example of a potent image of this type.
Charles Goodyear, sadly, profited little from his discovery. He was imprisoned for debt, his company folded, and he died a veritable pauper.
Robert Fulton, successfully built and operated a submarine (in France) in 1801, before turning his talents to the steamboat. Robert Fulton was accredited with turning the steamboat into a commercial success. On August 7, 1807, Robert Fulton's Clermont went from New York City to Albany making history with a 150-mile trip taking 32 hours at an average speed of about 5 miles-per-hour.
The double page spread for 1882 depicts ‘Punch’s’ (Tenniel’s) dream for the potential of electricity to be of use to society. Some ideas, which would have seemed preposterous and hilarious concepts at that time, have now become common place – ‘head-lights’ on a means of transport; using the heating power of electricity to hatch eggs, thaw frozen meat and cultivate exotic fruit; and electric lighting in horticulture to help grow flowers, fruit and vegetables.
The cartoon was published during a period known as the 'Great Stink' which affected the city of London in 1858. Over the summer, residents of central London were overwhelmed by the smell of raw sewage, heightened by the hot weather, coming from the Thames. The river had been contaminated by the overflowing cesspits found throughout the city. This cartoon depicts personifications of London (seen as a woman with a crown and a shield), the Thames (seen as a large male figure with long hair) and the three diseases Diphtheria , Scrofula and Cholera . The three diseases are represented by figures who display the symptoms of those diseases. The river from which they emerge is full of debris and sewage. Factories can be seen in the background. Cholera - water-borne disease characterized by stomach-ache, cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. Diphtheria - highly infectious disease often characterized by swelling of the nose and throat. Scrofula - form of tuberculosis affecting the lymph nodes in the neck.
