'This volume has much to recommend it. It is an outstanding introduction to the emergence of growth in Britain. It also continues Wrigley's long career of unearthing, collecting, and analyzing important data at an extraordinarily detailed level.' C. Knick Harley, The Journal of Interdisciplinary History
