"we can but attempt to give in the following pages a very summary outline of the National Progress made during this half century, and our object will be to touch briefly upon the growth and development of British Commerce and British Industry. So great have been the changes which have occurred, and so rapidly have they succeeded each other, that few of us can realise off-hand the marked contrast which exists between England of 1837, the year of her Majesty accession, and that of the present day.
A fascinating view of Victorian commerce and industry
