Synopsis

Lectures On The Industrial Revolution In England is a book written by Arnold Joseph Toynbee, a British economic historian, and social reformer. The book is a collection of lectures that Toynbee delivered at Oxford University in 1884. In the book, Toynbee provides a comprehensive overview of the Industrial Revolution in England, which began in the late 18th century and continued into the mid-19th century. He covers various aspects of the Industrial Revolution, including its causes, effects, and consequences.Toynbee explores the economic, social, and political changes that occurred during the Industrial Revolution, such as the rise of factories, the growth of urbanization, and the emergence of new technologies. He also discusses the impact of these changes on the working class, including the exploitation of workers and the development of labor unions.The book is considered an important work in the field of economic history and provides valuable insights into the Industrial Revolution in England. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the origins of modern industrial society and the challenges it has faced.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.
