The Industrial Revolution in the Eighteenth Century

A comprehensive introduction to aspects of the Industrial Revolution. Arranged in three distinct parts, it covers preparatory changes, inventions and factories, and immediate consequences.
This classic volume, first published in 1928, is a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of the Industrial Revolution. Arranged in three distinct parts, it covers:

• Preparatory Changes
• Inventions and Factories
• The Immediate Consequences.

A valuable reference, it is, as Professor T. S. Ashton says in his preface to this work, 'in both its architecture and detail this volume is by far the best introduction to the subject in any language... one of a few works on economic history that can justly be spoken of as classics'.
