Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Mechanical Inventions This study of technology is an outcome of interests of many years standing. They found some outlet in the volume on the Industrial History of England, but many of the problems were not then clearly perceived, and there was no space for adequate presentation of the larger aspects of the problem. Subsequent experience in teaching has made it evident that the whole matter must be taken up systematically if the significance of technical innovation is to become an integral part of the historical analysis of economic phenomena. As the interests of the economic historian are merely those of the general reader, it is hoped that this study will be of interest to engineers and to the general public. No attempt has been made to point out the full economic consequences of the technical progress recorded, and though the general chronology of the development has been given much attention the importance of the conclusions for the interpretation of the so-called "Industrial Revolution" is not developed in the present essay. The significance of the history of the inventions is obvious in many individual instances; the larger results, however, call for such extensive revisions of common judgments that adequate critical discussion of the problems raised would run to great length, and have little interest for many readers. It has seemed best to separate the history of the inventions from the discussion of their significance. My obligations to the writings of Professor R. M. Ogden are acknowledged in the text, but I also owe much to personal discussion of these problems with him at an early stage in the preparation of the Manuscript. His suggestions were essential to the formulation of a concept of the process of innovation which is much more significant for historical work than any view suggested by the other groups of psychologists. From my colleagues Professors F. W. Taussig, A. H. Cole, and A. E. Monroe I have recieved important suggestions and encouragement. I am also deeply indebted to Mr. Walter B. Briggs for signal assistance at every stage of the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
