"An Introduction to the Industrial and Social History of England" is a history of Great Britain, written by Edward P. Cheyney, Professor of European History in the University of Pennsylvania. Cheyney traces the history of the nation from prehistoric times, to the formation of early settlements and village life, to life in mediaeval times, right up to the Industrial age. His focus is on the economic changes that Britain has seen and the defining moments that shaped it into its modern state as an industrial powerhouse.
