Synopsis

Lectures On The Industrial Revolution In England is a book written by Arnold Joseph Toynbee. It is a comprehensive study of the Industrial Revolution in England that took place in the 18th and 19th centuries. The book consists of a series of lectures that were delivered by Toynbee in 1884 at the Royal Institution in London.Toynbee begins by discussing the origins of the Industrial Revolution and the factors that contributed to its emergence in England. He then goes on to describe the various industries that were affected by the revolution, such as textiles, iron and steel, and coal mining. Toynbee also examines the social and economic consequences of the Industrial Revolution, including the rise of the factory system, the growth of cities, and the emergence of a new working class.Throughout the book, Toynbee provides detailed analysis and data to support his arguments. He also draws on contemporary accounts and primary sources to give a vivid picture of life during the Industrial Revolution. The book is considered a classic work of economic history and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of modern industry and society.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.
