Scotland and the Taxing Union, 1707–1815
This article sketches the amounts of taxes collected in Scotland for central government between the Union of 1707 and the end of the Napoleonic wars, looking at the impact of the Union, change over time and comparisons with how much taxes were collected in the rest of Britain. Those findings are then generally explained with reference to tax policy, taxable capacity and the tax gap. Finally, how these findings affect our understanding of the Unio…
Petitions, Economic Legislation and Interest Groups in Britain, 1660–1800
Between 1660 and 1800, over 14,000 acts were passed at Westminster, with over a half of them directed at economic matters. Yet parliament was eager to ensure that proposed legislation had been duly considered. A key feature of this were the many thousands of petitions it received, mainly from interest groups, both for and against legislation, proposed and enacted. By systematically exploring the details of nine parliamentary sessions across the p…
The Industrial Revolution: The State, Knowledge and Global Trade, by William A. Ashworth
In this ambitious book William Ashworth argues that the key cause of the industrial revolution in Britain was state action. Inspired by France and the Dutch Republic, in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century new burdens were imposed on the industrial sector, encompassing heavy excise demands, central oversight of production, protectionism and imperialism. Ashworth claims that they succeeded in the aim of provoking previously backward …
Sir Joseph Banks's Provincial Turn
The rise of global history has been a major development in historical studies in recent years, with the history of globalization a central part of that. But did the global matter as much to people in the past as to historians now? This article addresses that question with reference to Britain as viewed through some neglected aspects of the life of the botanist Sir Joseph Banks (1743–1820). He is usually remembered for his extensive global preoccu…

The Nation, the State, and the First Industrial Revolution
T he nation-state has long offered a powerful framework within which to understand modern economic growth. To some it provides "a natural unit in the study of economic growth," especially when measuring such growth; to many others states have often significantly influenced the performance of their economies. 1 On this second point Barry Supple observed that "frontiers are more than lines on a map: they frequently define quite distinctive systems …
Compulsion, Compensation and Property Rights in Britain, 1688-1833
It is a commonplace that property was worshipped with unusual devotion in Britain between the Glorious Revolution and the railway age. As Hannah More put it, ‘All property is sacred, and as the laws of the land are intended to fence in that property, he who brings up his children to break down any of these fences, brings them up to certain sin and ruin’.1 Such views of the interrelated importance of property and the rule of law have led to major …

Representation and Misrepresentation in Later Stuart Britain: Partisanship and Political Culture
THE politics of later-Stuart Britain were fractious and factious. If much of this originated in the disjunction between the faith of James II and that of most of his people, the first step in the resolution of that disjunction, the Glorious Revolution, ushered in major new sources of discord: an era of intense warfare; the rise of the ‘fiscal military state’; a much freer press; frequent elections; an efflorescence of legislation; and institution…
The Contexts and Contours of British Economic Literature, 1660-1760
This article explores some of the main bibliographical dimensions of economic literature at a time when there was much interest in economic matters but no discipline of economics. By looking at what was published in the round much economic literature is shown to be short, ephemeral, unacknowledged, polemical, and legislatively orientated. This fluidity is underscored by the uncertaintities about what constituted key works of economic literature a…

The Myths of the South Sea Bubble
The South Sea Bubble of 1720 looms large in popular depictions of eighteenth-century Britain. But in many respects it is seriously misunderstood. This article begins by exploring mythic `facts' about the events of 1720, but is also concerned to explore why the Bubble was mythologised long after the event. On several levels, therefore, the Bubble has itself been bubbled

Patterns of parliamentary legislation, 1660–1800
Before 1689 parliament met relatively infrequently and unpredictably, passing limited amounts of legislation. After that date parliament met annually and enacted a significantly enhanced volume of legislation. By relating attempts to legislate to patterns of acts this transformation is explored at a very general level. Some explanations are advanced, largely by examining institutional arrangements and the subject matter of legislation. Finally, s…
Political Arithmetic in Eighteenth-Century England
With regard to public policy, in late seventeenth-century Britain there was a remarkable development of social statistics, what Petty called 'political arithmetic'. The general view, however, is that this new approach ended early in the eighteenth century only to be rediscovered by the early Victorian statistical movement. In fact, through the eighteenth century public policy continued to be considered partly in quantitative terms. This article e…

Attitudes to Credit in Britain, 1680-1790
The history of economic ideas in Britain is dominated by a great tradition which in its early stages focuses on Adam Smith. For the century before the publication of the Wealth of nations in 1776, economic ideas are most often studied in relation to the 'arrival' of Smith and commented on with regard to the degree to which they may be considered precursors of his ideas. Though this imposes a sense of order and establishes some principles with whi…

Counting the industrial revolution
In all my experience ... I have found how insecure all details of mere figures are upon which to build an argument. ... It is easy to add a little here, and subtract a little there; gently to slip in a figure, it may be a cypher, among your data; slyly to make what seems a reasonable postulate in your premises, but which turns out in the result to be a begging of the question-and behold you gain your point, and triumph, until it is found that you…

Financial Crises in Eighteenth-century England
In describing the causes and course of English economic growth during industrialization historians have frequently used a medium or long-term approach. Looking at average growth rates or the contribution of various key sectors to the economy as a whole, over long periods of time, has often been seen as the best way of outlining and explaining the growth process. Such an approach has clear enough links with postwar development economics. Growth, h…
