Synopsis

Lectures On The Industrial Revolution In England is a book written by Arnold Joseph Toynbee. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Industrial Revolution in England, which was a period of rapid industrialization and technological advancement that occurred in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.Toynbee's lectures cover a wide range of topics related to the Industrial Revolution, including the social and economic changes that occurred during this time, the impact of new technologies on industry and agriculture, and the growth of urbanization and the factory system.The book is divided into a series of lectures, each of which provides a detailed analysis of a specific aspect of the Industrial Revolution. Toynbee's lectures are based on extensive research and provide a wealth of information on the key figures, events, and trends that shaped this transformative period in English history.Overall, Lectures On The Industrial Revolution In England is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the economic and social changes that occurred during this pivotal period in English history.Malthus tells us that his book was suggested by Godwin's Inquiry, but it was really prompted by the rapid growth of pauperism which Malthus saw around him, and the book proved the main influence which determined the reform of the English Poor Laws. The problem of pauperism came upon men in its most terrible form between 1795 and 1834. The following statistics will illustrate its growth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About this title

Book Description

Originally written for undergraduates, this posthumously published collection of lectures from 1884 tackles many of the misconceptions held by nineteenth-century economists. Where other commentators often dealt with the subject of the Industrial Revolution in the abstract, Arnold Toynbee applies here an evidence-based approach, with astute but also entertaining results.
