“England was nothing, compared to continental nations until she had become commercial... until about the middle of the last century, when a number of ingenious and inventive men, without apparent relation to each other, arose in various parts of the kingdom, succeeded in giving an immense impulse to all the branches of the national industry; the result of which has been a harvest of wealth and prosperity, perhaps without a parallel in the history of the world.” MenWorldGivingHas BeensLastsNationsWealthResultsNumbersMiddleCenturyIndustryEnglandRelationProsperityVariousKingdomsImpulseBranchesImmenseHarvestWorld HistoryParallelsIngeniousContinental Author:Samuel Smiles
