First Published in 2005. This book is written for the general
reader and not for the specialist. It is an attempt to put the
Industrial Revolution in its place in history, and to give an idea
both of its significance and of the causes that determined the age
and the society in which it began. The book is divided into three
parts: in part one authors discuss the development of commerce
before the Industrial Revolution; part two describes the changes in
transport which preceded the railways, the dissolution of the
peasant village, the destruction of custom in industry, and the
free play that capital found in consequence. Part three examines
the first social effects of the change from a peasant to an
industrial civilization.
Originally published in 1964, in this work of wisdom, originality,
and power, the great Liberal scholar, J. L. Hammond, explores and
expounds Gladstone's attempt to secure justice for Ireland against
the rising tide of English Imperialist feeling. The origins of the
Irish Church crisis of 1869, of the land agitations of the
seventies and eighties, and of the Home Rule explosion of 1885-6
that disrupted the British party system, are traced back, by
Hammond's mastery of the archives, to their historical causes. His
imaginative sympathy accompanies Gladstone on the eight years of
political suffering that followed the explosion, till at the age of
eighty-four the Grand Old Man could finally retire. In the new 1964
introduction to this reprint of the rare 1938 edition, this work is
described as the most formidable and incisive piece of original
research yet published on the history of England and Ireland in the
second half of the nineteenth century.

Originally published in 1923, this book covers the career of Lord
Shaftesbury from his early career, through Peel's government and
factory legislation, and onto religion and philanthropy. His name
recalls great achievements in the reform of law; a powerful force
in debates and contests, on the issue of which depended the
fortunes of England, and he helped to both create and destroy
institutions, habits and beliefs to great consequence of his
successors.
