This volume of Research in Economic History includes eight papers.
Five were submitted through regular channels and three papers which
were solicited at the conference ???Toward a Global History of
Prices and Wages???. Following is Nonnenmacher??'s study of the
early years of the telegraph industry in the United States. The
third paper is Herranz-Lonc??n??'s estimates of the growth of the
Spanish infrastructure between 1844 and 1935. Then there are two
papers based on microeconomic data. The first is the investigation
by James, Palumbo and Thomas of late nineteenth century saving
among working class families in the United States. The second is
Murray??'s study of the operation of pioneering sickness insurance
schemes in several European countries between 1895 and 1908.
Finally, the three papers from the conference. In the first of
these papers, Pamuk studies trends in urban construction workers???
wages in the Eastern Mediterranean over almost a millennium. The
following paper by Bassino and Ma examines wages of Japanese
unskilled workers between 1741 and 1913. In the final paper, Ward
and Devereux present estimates of the relative income of the United
Kingdom in comparison with that of the United States for 1831,
1839, 1849, 1859 and 1869.
