Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of English Industry and Trade: A Reader for the Upper Classes of Primary Schools and the Middle Forms of Secondary Schools
Though at the present time there is happily no lack of school readers dealing with the political and social history of England, the history of English industry has not yet received the attention it merits; This little book is an attempt to present in a form suitable for elder scholars the most striking features of this fascinating branch of history, and has been written in the hope that the knowledge SO gained, even if limited, may do something to fit the readers for those duties and responsibilities of citizenship which they will soon be called Upon to perform.
It is hoped that the list of books mentioned in the foot notes and in the brief bibliography may be useful to teachers who wish to obtain further information.
