Green Cloth. Condition: FINE ( NEW ). Dust Jacket Condition: FINE ( NEW). Numerous Charts and One Pullout Photographic Print (illustrator). This is the Facsimile Edition of 1968. The partnership of Matthew Bolton (1728-1809), and James Watt (1736-1819) from the mid-1770s onwards for the purpose of developing Watt's improved steam engine has long been recognized as a vital element in the Industrial Revolution in Britain. John Lord's (Capital and Steam Power. First edition 1923; second edition 1966, Frank Cass) dealt mainly with the firm's part in familiarizing industrialist and businessman with this new form of power. In 1930, Sir Eric Roll's book appeared, in which the emphasis was differently placed. There is much more detail about the way in which Bolton and Watt and their sons, organized and developed the firm internally, secured orders for steam engines, and executed these orders. There are also important chapters dealing with the recruitment and training of the firm's workers, the early provision of the welfare schemes for them, and the great changes after 1795-1796, whereby the firm became one of the largest in Britain. This is a pioneer study in the genesis of modern industrial management. 320 pp including Index A FINE (AS NEW) copy. This book will be POSTED AT OUR STANDARD RATES FULLY INSURED (UK) ONLY .
