Description
Originally published in 1972, this scholarly work examines the pivotal role of science and technology during the Industrial Revolution. The book traces how the expansion of natural philosophy education, including mechanics, hydraulics, and chemistry, alongside the emergence of philosophical societies, itinerant lecturers, and public libraries, fundamentally shaped economic development.

This Routledge Library Editions reprint preserves a classic historical examination of how the dissemination of scientific ideas and technical expertise drove the transformation from agrarian to industrial economies.
