Synopsis
Excerpt from The Opening Address of Session 1878-9: Delivered on Monday Evening, October 28th
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Address of the President of a Literary and Scientific Society is an undertaking which is alarming to one who faces it for the first time. Nothing but the sudden and decisive manner in which your energetic Secretary put the question to me would have induced me to approach the task with such meagre preparation as the circumstances permitted. On landing from ten weeks vacation idleness on the ocean and in tropical climes, I am summoned to accept the office of President by return of post, and to be ready with an Address at the end of a week. To refuse on the ground that I would fain shirk voluntary work, would be to fail to make an effort when the utmost effort is due. If after so many years of absence I can find such a welcome from my Yorkshire friends, I must do my best to deserve it.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores themes of economy and innovation through the context of a local trades society in late 19th century England. With a particular focus on the iron and coal industries of the time, the author examines the rise and fall of an era of prosperity, providing a valuable insight into the interrelationship between investment, labor, and value. Addressing not just the atmosphere of the time, but also the very human tendency to chase profit at the expense of common sense, the author reveals the extent to which principles of economics have remained largely unchanged. Delving into the evolution of credit, currency, and the concept of 'good times' this book illuminates the delicate balance between economic growth and societal well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330708316_0
