Notes:
Analyses the finance and organisation of industry in a period of incomplete transition from workshop to factory but when industry continued to be generally conducted on a small scale. Reviews demand - focusing on the needs of five firms - and supply, notably joint stock conversion, local bank lending, etc, to comment generally on adequacy of funding, funding networks, etc. Deals especially with the role of the Sheffield Union Banking Co and the Sheffield & Hallamshire Bank
