Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Social Industrial History of England There is no more gratifying proof of the increased interest now being taken in English history than the attention which is paid by students and teachers to its industrial and social aspects. I have tried to include within the pages of the present work such an outline of the nation's development along social and industrial lines as should, in my opinion, be read by all young students as part of their work in history, and I am not without h0pe that it may also prove acceptable to the ever-increasing number of general readers who are interested in the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Industrial History of England: 1815-1918 The main purpose of this book is to provide, within as small a compass as possible, the historical background necessary for the study of modern industrial and social questions. An attempt has been made to show the interaction between political and economic development in the course of the nineteenth century by correlating the growth of democratic institutions with the progress of industry. The list of books in Appendix B. will serve as a guide to those who wish to follow up any particular question referred to in the text. Since in dealing with recent history dates have a value for the general reader as a means of relating facts to others known to him, I have introduced them in the narrative and the index. I have also adopted the only consistent method of referring to persons - that is, to use their names without the conventional prefixes. Otherwise, I would have to take the responsibility of deciding every case on its merits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial State: A Social and Economic History of England The series of books of which the present volume forms one proposes to touch one part only of life the economic. Only' is added as a caution not always superfluous yet of course no one can fail to recognise how fundamental for individuals and for society are the ways in which they provide for themselves their 'revenue or subsistence.' And so the books of this series will range from works which frankly aim at providing the definite knowledge which young men and women will need in commercial occupations to others which set before them the general structure of contemporary economic life and the course of development by which industrial conditions have come to be what they are. And concerning these latter this much must be added. Just about a century ago, Political Economy entered into a phase which, in effect and for the great body of the people, was profoundly pessimistic. It taught, or was understood to teach, that industrial conditions were brought about by 'laws' as independent of individual human aspirations as the law of gravity. That phase has. Passed away. It is true that we see now that human character and therefore social organisation are both the results of age-long evolution, and that there are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial History of England In the Preface to the Fifth Edition he wrote It has been said that I write with a prejudice against the owners of land: but this is not the case. The landed gentry of England happen for some centuries to have held the pre dominant power in the State and in society, and used it, not unnaturally, in many cases to further their own interests. It is the duty of an historian to point this out, but it need not therefore be thought that he had any special bias against the class. Any other class would certainly have done the same, as, for instance, mill owners did among their own employees at the beginning of this century, and as, in all probability, the working classes will do when a further extension of democratic government shall have given them the opportunity.

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial History of Modern England The purpose of this volume is to outline the facts and to interpret the Spirit of the economic history of Great Britain in the last hundred and fifty years. The writer believed it to be a useful task to focus within such limits as these a narrative of the social transformation through which the mother country of industrialism has passed since the invention of the steam-engine; and, from this, he was led on to an attempt to characterise the period, and the main current of thought which the play Of economic forces has provoked. With so vast a subject, and great libraries of undigested evidence challenging attention, it seemed beyond h0pe to escape all the pitfalls in the way of such an essay. The recent accumula tions of statistical material, in particular, must be mastered, their essential results obtained, and the contributory detail then eliminated, like the scaffolding when a building is complete, lest the large outlines be obscured. The writer enjoyed, however, beside the interest of the task, the stimulus of contact with industry and business at several points. Trades translated themselves back out Of statistics into terms of flesh and blood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial and Commercial History of England, Vol. 1: Lectures Delivered to the University of Oxford The discourses in the present volume, which contains almost all the hitherto unpublished comments on the Economic History of England delivered in public by my father, were originally given in the form of lectures in the University of Oxford. They were given in the hall of Worcester College in the autumn of 1888, and the spring of 1889. Although it had been his intention to publish these lectures some day in the form of a book, they were found at his death in the same form as they were composed originally, with the addition of a few pencil notes alone. For, in accordance with a very common practice, he considered it advisable to repeat these two courses before they were finally committed to print. There is always a certain weighty sense of responsibility attached to the work of editing the writings of another. But this feeling is accentuated when the text is not in the condition which the author would have considered final. It would have impaired the value of the book had it been given to the world exactly as it stood, because it was so full of those local and personal allusions, with which my father used to illustrate his arguments, that though the interest might have been increased for a certain class of readers, the point would often have been missed by others. There are passages in the ms. Which I am sure my father would not have kept in his proofs. But, on the other hand, it is out of place in an editor to alter the text of his author, if there is any possibility of the reader thereby misinterpreting the meaning, or getting any false impres sion. And yet I am conscious that there are instances where the progress of economic research, or the march of history, has dis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Industries of the Middle Ages: Being an Introduction to the Industrial History of Medieval England The rise of the capitalist and the monopolist, the social revolution of the Reformation, with the aboli tion of the monastic houses and the beginnings of the poor-law system constituted a' new era for the working classes even when unaccompanied by any startling change in methods or mechanical media. Moreover, from the middle of the sixteenth century documents and records relating to industrial matters become more numerous and more accessible, and this is therefore the usual starting-point for those who write upon these subjects. For these reasons my accounts of the various selected industries will be found to end at such dates within the sixteenth century as have seemed convenient, though I have not slavishly refrained from taking out of the seventeenth century occasional details applicable to the earlier period. Such, then, are the lines upon which I have built my book. If any critic considers that the subject should have been dealt with on another plan, he is at liberty to prove his contention by so treating it himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the Economic History of England: A Study in Social Development IN common with other provinces of the Empire, Britain, during the Roman occupation, reached a considerable degree of economic development. Large urban centres were connected by an excellent system of roads, and along these roads the frequent remains of villas testify to the luxurious living of the wealthy classes. But between the economic organisation of Britain at that period and England in the nineteenth century there is an important difference. Hardly anyone in the country now produces any considerable proportion of the Objects which he himself consumes. The produce of a rural village, like the produce of an urban centre, is marketed beyond the borders of the village, and the village draws from without the supplies consumed by its members. In Roman Britain, on the other hand, it seems probable that the workers in each small area produced locally the food and clothes and housing which they consumed, and that the goods which were drawn from them brought back no returns of material wealth, but provided Only the luxurious expenditure of the governing class. The requirements of this class - native chiefs and Roman officials and speculators - and of subordinate bureau crats and soldiers produced the urban centres and the trade of the country. From the rural districts they drew supplies of food and raw materials by rents and taxation, in some cases also by the direct exploitation of slave labour. These supplies maintained their craftsmen and personal attendants, or were exported to pay for the luxuries which had to be provided from a distance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Industrial and Social History of England This text-book is intended for college and high-school classes. Most of the facts stated in it have become, through the researches and publications of recent years, such commonplace knowledge that a reference to authority in each case has not seemed necessary. Statements on more doubtful points, and such personal opinions as I have had occasion to express, although not supported by references, are based on a somewhat careful study of the sources. To each chapter is subjoined a bibliographical paragraph with the titles of the most important secondary authorities. These works will furnish a fuller account of the matters that have been treated in outline in this book, indicate the original sources, and give opportunity and suggestions for further study. An introductory chapter and a series of narrative paragraphs prefixed to other chapters are given with the object of correlating matters of economic and social history with other aspects of the life of the nation. My obligation and gratitude are due, as are those of all later students, to the group of scholars who have within our own time laid the foundations of the study of economic history, and whose names and books will be found referred to in the bibliographical paragraphs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of Social and Industrial History In those days men worked because they were hungry and, in northern latitudes, because they were cold. Yet, although it was a joyful open-air life, full of excitement and change of scene, it had drawbacks. For sometimes food would be plentiful and sometimes it would be scarce. One day men ate more than was good for them, and a few days later they would suffer the pangs of hunger. With stomachs of limited capacity and bodies requiring regular nourishment they found what few boys believe, but every one has to learn, that little and often is a golden rule. Monday's dinner did not last until Thurs day's breakfast, and the attempt to lay in sufficient to cover the unknown interval between meals was probably painful, and must certainly have resulted in discomfort.
