Excerpt from Social Industrial History of England: 1815-1918
HE main purpose of this book is to provide, I 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 relat ing 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.
