Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sketch of Scottish Industrial and Social History in the 18th and 19th Centuries
In the Introduction, which was added to the book at the express request of the publishers, it has been sought to furnish the reader with a starting-point for the study of the period which is the special subject of the book, by giving an out line of the industrial progress of Scotland during the four centuries previous to the Union.
In conclusion, the writer would like to express the hope that the present slight sketch of a subject of so much magnitude and importance may be the forerunner of a more exhaustive treatment of it.
