Opis

Based largely on archival and other primary sources, this collection of essays attempts to understand Britain's gain in--and subsequent loss of--economic preeminence during the industrial revolution, uncovering new statistical information on areas ranging from agriculture, mining, transportation, and insurance, to textiles, corn milling, steam power, and land.

Recenzje

'the collection offers a useful, and in parts important, presentation of empirical information ... an empirical tour de force, which will place other historians in his debt for a long time' Barry Supple, St Catharine's College, Cambridge, EHR Oct. 91
