Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Commerce and Industry This book is an outgrowth of eleven years' experience in teaching history to commercial classes at the Philadelphia Cen tral High School. In preparing it the aim has been the same as the aim Of the teaching: viz., to present the essentials of his tory from the commercial and industrial point of view. The purpose has been to furnish the history Of a great movement or tendency rather than the history of nations. It will be Obvious to those who use the book that the 'writer's interests have been primarily in commercial history. The writer accepts as true a recent statement Of Canon Hen son, that knowledge Oi the past is a great emancipating power Of the present, and that ignorance Of the past is one of the present's greatest curses. History treated as a record of social progress may become one of the great cementing forces Of society. With what aspect of the past shall history deal? It is quite correct to say that history is the outgrowth of the age in which it is written and that the various interpretations which have been given it are but reflections Of the varying and dominant interests Of society. Not many years ago, Edward A. F ree man's famous dictum, history is past politics and politics are present history, found general acceptance; but this sentiment is no longer generally approved. Clearly there is at present a desire to select those interests Of the past which most bear on the present. For a considerable time, the tendency has been Obvious for both writers and teachers to emphasize economic and social history rather than the history Of war or Of the evolu tion Of governmental systems.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Lumber Industry of America, Vol. 1 Industry and commerce have received in the past but incidental recognition from the historian. He has sought to trace the history of peoples in the political movements in which they have been involved. The successful prosecution of war has appeared to him more notable than the continued preservation of peace. The achievements of diplo mats and warriors have appeared more vital than the successes of men of business. The growing respect engendered abroad by a nation's army and navy has seemed a more attractive theme for discourse than the increase of its trade in the markets of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Commerce The year 1914 marks one of the great turning points in history. I have accordingly revised the part Of this book covering the recent'period to close the narrative at that date, and have added another part, covering the history Of commerce in the war and in the two or three years Of peace immediately following. The commerce Of the great nations of the world has departed since 1914 far from its accustomed paths and forms. In my attempt to make intelligible the commercial changes Of the time I have had to take account Of matters in public finance, currency and foreign exchange which are usually treated apart from the history Of international trade. I have thought it better, by touching on these outside subjects, to show the reasons for the course which commerce has followed, rather than to omit the reasons because they are hard for the student Of the history of commerce to understand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industry and Trade: Historical and Descriptive Account of Their Development in the United States It will not be long before every school student is out in the world. That is what he or she is getting ready for during the school years. There is a living to make and a life to lead, and all must get into the game. But it is poor business jumping into a game whose conditions and rules we do not know. We don't want to make a hit and then run to third instead of first, or we shall pretty soon be sitting on the bench, watching better-informed people play. The game this book deals with - the game of labor and industry - is one we cannot stay out of unless we want to be professional loafers or tramps. We want to take part in winning prosperity for our country, and for ourselves along with it. No country is truly prosperous if its people are afraid of work. The industries of a country are the basis of its well-being. Yet mere work or industry is not enough; the labors of us all must be intelligent if they are to set us high among the nations and peoples. And that means that we must be thoroughly informed about what we have to do with, here in America, and how we can best put it to use. We shall win out as a people, and also as individuals, in proportion as we possess wide and exact knowledge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Age of Big Business: A Chronicle of the Captains of Industry The slow, unceasing ages had been accumulating a priceless inheritance for the American people. Nearly all of their natural resources, in 1865, were still lying fallow, and even undiscovered in many instances. Americans had begun, it is true, to exploit their more obvious, external wealth, their forests and their land; the first had made them one of the world's two greatest shipbuilding nations, while the second had furnished a large part of the resources that had enabled the Federal Govern ment to fight what was, up to that time, the great est War in history.

Download or read book The Industrial History of the United States Classic Reprint written by Katharine Coman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial History of the United States The record of industrial progress may be rendered no less intelligible and interesting to the average student than the development of political forms. Business methods are more familiar than military tactics, and a mechanical invention is more readily comprehended than a constitu tional revision. Elaborate treatises have been written on various phases of our economic history. It is the aim of this book to bring the essential elements of that history within the grasp of the average reader. The complicated story has been told in the briefest possible fashion, but marginal references will enable the student to go into detail as fully as may be desired. Contemporary prob lems are treated in mere outline. The data essential to the study of each have been set forth with no expres sion of opinion, the best authorities, pro and con, being noted in the margin. A final chapter on the conservation of our national resources has been added to this edition in the hope of making evident the transcendent importance of the interests involved. Here, again, so brief a treat ment can do hardly more than suggest salient facts, leav ing the student to follow the line of his special concern. For the assistance of teachers, suggestions for supple mentary reading and for class discussion are given in an appendix.

This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1795-1895, One Hundred Years of American Commerce: Consisting of One Hundred Original Articles on Commercial Topics Describing the Practical Development of the Various Branches of Trade in the United States Within the Past Century The evolution of an idea is always interesting. In submitting to the public this history of American commerce, an explanation of the causes in which it had its inception may most properly premise a review of the finished work. The present year marked for the oldest commercial paper in America, the Shipping and Commercial List and New York Price Cur rent, the completion of one hundred years of useful existence. In seeking some method of celebrating the centennial in a manner worthy at the same time of the paper and of the busi ness interests of the country, the present idea was evolved. It was decided that in no better way could service be rendered to the American commercial community than by gathering together in compact form the interesting facts of its remarkable development. At first the intention was to present this history in a centennial edition of the paper, and upon this plan the work was begun. Then, as in the end, the plan contemplated the publication of one hundred chapters, written by one hundred men representing the great lines into which our trade and industries had been developed and specialized in recent years. The suggestion of such a work met with most generous welcome in the business world. Its need was recognized at once, and its novelty and value elicited eminent aid. The very success of the idea compelled the changing of the original plan. In the form of a newspaper publication the work would have lacked permanence and breadth of scope. It seemed almost unfair to interest representa tive men throughout the country, who would bring enthusiasm, ability, and experience to the work of describing the industries of the country, and then to place upon them limitations of space within which they could do justice neither to themselves nor to their subjects. More over, it was not solely as a newspaper centennial that the event was of importance; it had a deeper and more extended historical significance. Like the Shipping and Commercial List itself, the centennial to be celebrated was but the natural outcome of a great event in the history of our establishment as a nation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Irish Trade and Industry T is a rare experience to find any person, even an Irish I business man, who possesses what approximates to exact knowledge of the modern history of Irish trade and industry. This lack of knowledge is to a large extent ascribable to the fact that no systematic records of Irish trade or industry were kept during the greater part of the past century. Consequently, unless one were able to devote a considerable amount of time and labour in searching for and studying such scattered data as are available, a wide know ledge oi the subject was unattainable.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Domestic and Foreign Commerce of the United States, Vol. 2 Before considering in detail the history of the foreign commerce of the United States during the period of national life under the Constitution, it will be helpful to survey the status of the industries and trade of the United States in 1789 and 1790. This will afford a fixed point from which to measure the progress antecedent and subsequent to the adoption of the Constitution. The year 1789 was significant in the economic as well as the political history of the United States. The country was recovering from the business depression that had begun in 1785. The revival of industry from the setback of that year had been slow, but the country was in reality economically sound. Abundant available resources awaited development; and what was needed to enable business to expand was an effective government with power to provide itself with revenue, to establish public credit, to create a sound national currency, and to regulate interstate and foreign trade. The government under the Constitution, steadied by the judgment of Washington and guided by the financial and political genius of Hamilton, established conditions required for the internal development of the country. The working out of international relations favorable to the foreign trade of the United States proved to be a more difficult task Indeed, it was long after the second war with Great Britain that the United States first secured satisfactory commercial treaties with several import ant powers. The handicap which this placed upon the foreign trade of the United States was, as will be pointed out later, more than overcome, from 1793 to 1805, by the continental European wars that gave American merchants exceptional opportunities is neutral traders. The Constitution and the measures adopted early in Washington's administration enabled internal industry and trade to continue the growth that had started before 1789; but foreign commerce was given its first strong impulse by the continental wars. The growth in population, by natural increase and by immigration, was rapid. The first census of the United States, taken in 1790, showed that there were 3,921,326 people in the country, of whom about five-sixths were white and one-sixth black.
