Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landmarks in English Industrial History History is opening out so vast a field that by common agreement we have come to recognize certain divisions in it. We speak of Ancient History and Modern History, Political History, Constitutional History, Ecclesiastical History, Mili tary History, Economic or Social History, and so on. But although these divisions are convenient, we must not draw a dividing line too rigidly; we cannot take each fact of history and label it as belonging to one subject or to another, however tempting this may be for the sake of clearness, because there are many events which are impor ant, not only in one, but in several branches of history With some this multiple importance is evident: no one would dream of assigning Magna Carta to the constitutional historian and forbidding the political historian to mention it; events like the Reformation, or the Model Parliament, or the coloniza tion of Ulster, or the Union with Scotland are plainly many sided. But there is another class of events which, though they appear to belong very definitely to one division of history, yet on a closer scrutiny reveal influences, at first.

Download or read book Industry in England written by H. De B. Gibbins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industry in England: Historical Outlines IN 1890 the author published a small book, entitled The Industrial History of England, which met with a some what undeserved success, and has rapidly gone through several large editions. It was described in the first preface as an attempt to relate in a short, concise, and simple form the main outlines of England's economic and industrial history, meant to serve as an introduction to a fuller study of the subject, and as a preliminary sketch which the reader can afterwards, if he wishes, fill in for himself from larger volumes; and it seems to have attained its object of awakening popular interest, to some extent, in a very important branch of national history. But it had all the faults of a brief outline, and contained errors of fact and of expression which no one has regretted more sincerely than the author. It has therefore been my endeavour, in this larger work, to produce a History of Industry of a more satisfactory character, while at the same time retaining the essential features that characterised the earlier effort. As before, I have attempted, as far as possible, in the brief limits of a work like this, to connect economie and ind ustrial questions with social, political, and military movements, since only in some such mutual relation can historical events obtain their full significance.

Download or read book An Introduction to English Industrial History Classic Reprint written by Henry Allsopp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to English Industrial History This book is an attempt to make a really interesting, simple and suggestive introduction to industrial and economic history. It is intended mainly to e our young men and women of all classes to take up earnestly the study of this important subject, which has hitherto been beyond the reach of most young people because the only available text-books have been either out-oi-date or far too learned and academic, as well as too expensive. The author's difficulty has been to know what to omit, but every effort has been made to include only the essential features and to present those in such a form as will tempt students to read the larger and more advanced books on the subject. A descriptive list of the most interesting books on the various portions of the subject will be found in the appendix. The sketch of a manor is, it is hoped, simple Without being misleading. The two population maps are intended to illustrate clearly the growth of population in the eighteenth century. Thanks are due to Mr. J. Munro, m.a. (beit Lecturer in Colonial History at the University of Oxford), and to my wife, to whom the author owes many suggestions and kind criticisms and to Messrs. A. L. Smith, m.a., and H. W. C. Davis, m.a. (both of Balliol College, Oxford), who have, by their teaching, made this book possible, but are, of course, not responsible for any of the statements made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of English Industrial History This book, like the remainder of the series of which it is a part, is intended for the use of any persons who may be anxious to understand the nature of existing political conditions; but it differs from the other volumes, inasmuch as it fixes attention on English rather than on European history, and sketches, from one special point of view, the course of events over a very long period of time. It has also been thought unnecessary to give any bibliography of this wide subject, as students who desire to procure further guidance will be able to obtain it from the larger work, on the Growth of English Industry and Commerce, published by the Cambridge University Press.

Download or read book Iron and Steel in the Industrial Revolution Classic Reprint written by Thomas Southcliffe Ashton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iron and Steel in the Industrial Revolution This contribution to the history of the English Iron Industry is the product of the leisure, not of an historian, but of one engaged in teaching economic theory. The materials on which it is based were collected when I was on the staff first of the University of Sheffield, then of the University of Birmingham; but most of the actual writing has been done in Manchester. A generation ago writers on modern economic history found their principal quarry in blue-books, Parliamentary Journals, and other Government records. Hence arose not only an over-estimate of the part played by the State in economic development, but also, perhaps, an unduly gloomy View of former industrial society; for it -is the Pathology, rather than the Physiology, of social life that forms the subject of commissions of enquiry, of Home Office reports, and of parliamentary debates. Within the last few years a small group of scholars has attempted to re-write the economic history of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, using as a basis the surviving records of business undertakings. The University of Manchester already possesses the complete documents of four such concerns, and it is hoped that proprietors of long-established businesses will add to the collection. By so doing they will help to a truer View of the past, and therefore to a clearer understanding of the present. They need have no misgivings Concerning publicity. Houses that have stood the test of a century were not built, shamefully, on sand their foundations will bear scrutiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Industry The length of time given to industrial history in the Julia Rich man 'high School has varied from year to year. At first the sub ject was dealt with somewhat inadequately - in five periods a week for twenty weeks. It has since been allowed either four or five periods a week for forty weeks. If industrial history is pre ceded by commercial and industrial geography and followed by economics, it may be covered satisfactorily in less time than where all the training in one or both of these subjects must be intro duced into the industrial history. This book is intended to furnish material for a five-period course running through the entire year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Golden Fleece: An Introduction to the Industrial History of England Most of the great industries of England have their own literature but it has generally been written from the technical point of View. Few of these industrial studies are suitable for the ordinary reader or are written with reference to the general economic history of the country. This book aims at giving to those who are interested in England's industrial development, as well as to those who are engaged in the woollen industry, some idea of the great part wool has played in England's history. It stands midway between the technical books on the subject and the general industrial histories of England. To suggest ideas and to trace tendencies has been held more important than mere erudition. Each trade is a great romance, the story of the hopes, the fears, and the achievements of men for many generations, and there lingers about it the same fascination as haunts some great monument of the past - making us feel our kinship with the men who have gone before us.
