The Growth of English Industry and Commerce, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

English Economic History has -- been prosecuted with great vigour in France, Germany, Russia and A merica, as well as in this country, and there has been no little difficulty in making an attempt to bring the present edition completely up to date. It has, however, been a satisfaction to me to recognise how much the knowledge of this branch of history has increased in clearness and in precision since this book was planned some thirty years ago. Many minor alterations have been introduced in the present edition; and owing to suggestions made by Dr L. C. A. Knowles of theL ondon School of Economics, the sections on the effects of theB lack Death (119), and on the changes in rural England under the Tudor kings (150, 151, 152), have been entirely rewritten. W. C. Trinity College, Cambridge, 13 A ugust, 1910.
