| Description | Evidence of Thomas Leather in support of Highs as the true inventor of the Jenny.
"It was convenient for Mr. Arkwright, and served his purpose, to attribute the invetion of the Jenny to Hargrave, because Hargrave was not the inventor of the Water Frame ... to have mentioned Highs, the real inventor of the Jenny, might have been a dangerous experiment, because, as Mr. Arkwright well knew, Highs was the inventor of the Water Frame as well as the Jenny." |
