Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers examines the emergence of a new class of industrial entrepreneur and the world they confronted and shaped. Historians have been reluctant to examine nineteenth-century American business leaders as a social group and this study helps remedy the defect. By examining nineteenth-century American business leaders as a distinct social group, it interweaves a history of the social and economic development of the largest centre of machine building in nineteenth-century America with the dramatic political narrative of sectional conflict, Civil War and Reconstruction. Crossing and re-crossing the boundary between industrial and political history it throws important new light on the process of industrialisation, the Civil War conflict, and the contested governance of nineteenth-century cities. While this study is firmly rooted in the experience of Philadelphia's machine builders, its historiographic significance extends to many important themes of mid-century American history.

Historians are reluctant to examine nineteenth-century American business leaders as a social group and this study helps remedy the defect. This book interweaves a history of the social and economic development of the largest centre of machine building in nineteenth-century America with the dramatic political narrative of sectional conflict, Civil War and Reconstruction. Crossing and re-crossing the boundary between industrial and political history, it throws new light on the process of industrialisation, the Civil War conflict, and the contested governance of nineteenth-century cities. While this study is firmly rooted in the experience of Philadelphia's machine builders, its historiographic significance extends to many of the important themes of mid-century American history. By rejecting the conventional viewpoint that timid manufacturers were conservative supporters of the plantation South and insisting that workshop owners rejected slavery, this study reinvigorates one of the Civil War's enduring interpretative battles. Of interest to scholars of business, economic, social, labour, education, urban and Civil War history, it will no doubt stimulate further debate and add a new angle to our understanding of nineteenth-century America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sellers brothers, Samuel and George, came to North America in 1682 as part of the Quaker migration to William Penn’s new province on the shores of the Delaware River. Across more than two centuries, the Sellers family—especially Samuel’s descendants Nathan, Escol, Coleman, and William—rose to prominence as manufacturers, engineers, social reformers, and urban and suburban developers, transforming Philadelphia into a center of industry and culture. They led a host of civic institutions including the Franklin Institute, Abolition Society, and University of Pennsylvania. At the same time, their vast network of relatives and associates became a leading force in the rise of American industry in Ohio, Georgia, Tennessee, New York, and elsewhere. Engineering Philadelphia is a sweeping account of enterprise and ingenuity, economic development and urban planning, and the rise and fall of Philadelphia as an industrial metropolis. Domenic Vitiello tells the story of the influential Sellers family, placing their experiences in the broader context of industrialization and urbanization in the United States from the colonial era through World War II. The story of the Sellers family illustrates how family and business networks shaped the social, financial, and technological processes of industrial capitalism. As Vitiello documents, the Sellers family and their network profoundly influenced corporate and federal technology policy, manufacturing practice, infrastructure and building construction, and metropolitan development. Vitiello also links the family’s declining fortunes to the deindustrialization of Philadelphia—and the nation—over the course of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Objects of Interest to Engineers and Others: In and About Philadelphia The Engineers' Club of Philadelphia was organized December 17th, 1877. Its object, as stated in its Constitution, is "to promote the Arts and Sciences connected with Engineering, by means of periodical meetings for the reading and discussion of professional papers and for social intercourse, and circulation by publication among its members of the information thus obtained." In carrying out this object the Club holds meetings on the first and third Saturday evenings of each month, except July, August and September, and publishes its Proceedings quarterly, besides sending out to its members frequent abstracts and advance copies of papers to be presented. The Club occupies the entire building at No. 1122 Girard Street (See Girard Street, page 37). On the first or ground floor is a comfortable library and reading room; on the second floor are the Club offices and a commodious meeting room, while on the third floor is a card and chess room. The meetings are well attended, the average number of members and visitors present reaching about fifty, and much interest is usually manifested in the papers and discussions presented. The Club is the largest local engineering society in the country. Its members number over four hundred, and include in their ranks some of the most distinguished engineers of the city. The membership is about equally divided between residents and non-residents. The Quarterly Proceedings may be taken as a model, not only for typographical excellence, but for the character of the matter presented. The Club is always glad to welcome visiting engineers to its rooms and to its meetings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
