James Montgomery 17771854 wrote these hymns possibly while in residence at Sheffield England "where he had come to be accounted a local hero and grew more and more in the respect of his fellow-townsmen by his exemplary life and activity in furthering every good work whether philanthropic or religious."

Montgomery 1792-1880 presents considerable data a good portion in numerous tables on the different aspects of the cost of manufacturing cotton. He looks at manufacturing costs in several locations in America including Massachusetts New Jersey and Rhode Island. He argues that because factories in Great Britain are already as cost efficient as they can be; only additional technical advancement could improve their economies. By contrast he felt that American factories could improve their cost structure without significant investment by managing them a little differently. Sabin 51049 John Niven hardcover books
