This book was first published in 1960. Its author, W. G. Rimmer,
here forms a case study of the Marshalls of Leeds, and their
progress and prominence in the field of flax spinning since the
outbreak of the French War in 1793. The founder of Marshall and
Co., John Marshall, was made a millionaire by the company's
success. In documenting the company's economic history, Rimmer
draws upon private ledgers, stock books, score letters and
notebooks, primarily spanning the years 1806-46. He aims to give a
thorough and engaging narrative account of this family and their
firm by drawing upon their relationships with the citizens of
Leeds, politicians, customers and landowners, as well as looking at
the internal development of their business. This engaging and
thoroughly researched book will be of great interest to any
scholars of nineteenth-century industry in general, or the
industrial history of Leeds more specifically.
