First published in 1910, as the fourth edition of an 1895 original, this book forms part of the Cambridge Historical Series. The text presents a comprehensive analysis of English industrial development, incorporating discussion of financial systems, immigration, agriculture and the growth of towns, as well as the fundamental changes of the industrial revolution. This broad perspective is rooted in the idea that English industrial history 'is the story of the material side of the life of a great nation'. A bibliography and chronological table are also included. This is a highly readable book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in historiography, British industrial history and economic history.
