When it appeared in 1923, John Lords Capital and Steam Power
17501800 was the first book to be based on the voluminous Boultori
and Watt papers in Birmingham since the hey-day of Samuel
Smiles.
Although Lords conclusions have been modified and corrected on
various points, this 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. "Mr. Lords Capital and Steam Power 17501800
is an important contribution to economic history His introductory
sketch of economic conditions from 1700 to 1750 and his concluding
summary of the main results of the developments which he has
described, without having the same novelty as his central theme,
are scholarly and intelligent."
R. H. Tawney, Economica, February, 1924
"His study of the application of steam to industry is a useful
piece of research."
T. S. Ashton, The Economic Journal, December, 1924
