About This Item
London: Frank Cass & Co Ltd, 1968. When it appeared in 1923, John Lord's Capital and Steam Power 1750 - 1800 was the first book to be based on the voluminous Bolton and Watt papers in Birmingham since the hey - day of Samuel Smiles. Although Lord's conclusions have been modified and corrected on various points, his book still remains the best short account of the significance of this classic engineering partnership, which bulks so large in the history of technology and of the Industrial Revolution in Britain. A short new introduction details the books and articles which have been published in this field since 1923, and indicates the ways in which Lord's conclusions now need qualifications. 253pp including Index This book will be POSTED AT OUR STANDARD RATES FULLY INSURED (UK) ONLY .
