Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a description of a lively and unusual tour of industrial Britain in the period which reached its public climax in the Great Exhibition of 1851. Professor Fay sets his tour in the heart of the "stream of industrial invention" in the fields of metals, machinery, transportation, and industrial arts such as spinning, weaving, and paper-making. We travel with him through the industrial sections of Britain, observing conditions in the steel industries of Sheffield, the mines of Merthyr Tydfil, the shipyards of the Clyde, and the factories of Bradford. We see social, economic, and financial conditions in these areas, presented often through contemporary documents, and meet such significant, colourful figures as Adam Smith, Faraday, and Robert Owen.

Book Synopsis Provincial Stock Exchanges by : W.A. Thomas
Download or read book Provincial Stock Exchanges written by W.A. Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2005. The provincial stock exchanges have long been an area of considerable neglect in the study of the history of finance and investment. They have always been dwarfed by the London Stock Exchange, but at least from 1836 onwards it was not the only market in the country. Those who have traced the development of the English capital market have been careful to point to the importance of provincial capital in railway promotion, yet while the role of provincial capital was emphasized, the praises of the 'vehicle' which helped to mobilize such funds went unsaid. It is difficult to see how provincial investors would have been prepared to commit so much of their capital resources for such purposes without some assurance of being able to liquidate their holdings fairly speedily, since for most of them London was at some distance. This book is an attempt to fill a gap—to trace the origins of the provincial investment 'vehicle' and its progress to the present day.

Download or read book The Factory Question and Industrial England, 1830-1860 written by Robert Gray and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Factory Question and Industrial England addresses the continuing controversy over industrialisation. It investigates different perceptions of the 'factory system' either as a threat or a promise, and the contested meanings of waged work in industry. Making use of a great variety of sources, such as sermons, medical treatises, fictional and visual representations, Robert Gray places the languages of debate in their cultural contexts, paying particular attention to the shifting constructions of class and gender in the rhetoric of reform, and the ambiguities and tensions inherent in 'protective' legislation. He then relates patterns of conflict over factory legislation to the features of specific industrial towns. The combination of regional, cultural and textual analysis makes this book a coherent and original contribution to the study of industrial Britain in the nineteenth century.

Book Synopsis Britain to America by : William E. Van Vugt
Download or read book Britain to America written by William E. Van Vugt and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1820 to 1860, the United States and Great Britain were the two most closely interconnected countries in the world in terms of culture and economic growth. In an important addition to immigration history, William Van Vugt explores who came to America from Great Britain during this period and why. Disruptions and economic hardships, such as the repeal of Britain's protective Corn Laws, the potato famine, and technological displacement, do not account for the great mid-century surge of British migration to America. Rather than desperation and impoverishment, Van Vugt finds that immigrants were motivated by energy, tenacity, and ambition to improve their lives by taking advantage of opportunities in America. Drawing on county histories, passenger lists of immigrant ships, census data, and manuscript collections in Great Britain and the United States, Van Vugt sketches the lives and fortunes of dozens of immigrant farmers, miners, artisans, skilled and unskilled laborers, professionals, and religious nonconformists.

Book Synopsis The Minor Marshallians and Alfred Marshall by : Peter Groenewegen
Download or read book The Minor Marshallians and Alfred Marshall written by Peter Groenewegen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Marshall, Professor of Economics at Cambridge University (1885-1908), produced a distinguished a distinguished crop of students, many of them leaders in the economics profession in subsequent generations. Pigou, Keynes and Denis Robertson are undoubtedly the most famous of these Marshall ‘pupils’ but there were many more, even if more minor forces in the development of early twentieth century economics. This book intends to examine the major work of ten of these ‘minor’ Marshallians – Sydney John Chapman (1871-1951), John Harold Clapham (1873-1946), Charles Ryle Fay (1884-1961), Alfred William Flux (1867-1942), Frederick Lavington (1881-1927), Walter Thomas Layton (1884-1966), David Huchinson MacGregor (1827-1953), Joseph Shield Nicholson (1850-1927), Charles Percy Sanger (1871-1930) and Gerald Francis Shove (1888-1947), to name them in alphabetical order. The broad aim of this book is to evaluate the more important contributions of these ‘minor’ Marshallians by selective examination of their major economic work. That evaluation has at least two dimensions. First, it focuses on the significance of the author’s individual contributions to the development of twentieth century economic thought. Secondly, it attempts to assess the Marshallian credentials of these contributions in order to indicate how Marshallian in their economics these ‘pupils’ of Marshall’s economics teaching actually stayed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enormous growth of industry and towns in early nineteenth-century Britain brought constant demands for Governement action in the interests of public welfare and safety. However much laissez-faire was advocates as a theory, state intervention was becoming an established system, with the Board of Trade as its chief administrative agency. The Board regulated the railways and the carriage of mails. It undertook the superintendance of the British merchant marine and concerned itself with the welfare of seamen. It set up the Meteorological Office. It was charged with the collection and publication of official statistics, and was responsible for the registration of joint stock companies. It organized schools of industrial design. At the beginning of the century the Board had been an advisory committee of the old Privy Council for all matters of trade and foreign plantations. By 1855 it had been transformed into an executive department of state, and had become, in effect, a Board of Industry. This study is important both as a history of the Board of Trade during a formative period and as a contribution to the neglected field of nineteenth century administrative history.
