Notes:
Scholarly work intended for a wide readership. In the absence of surviving business archives, draws on public records 'to compose a useful history of the times of Titus Salt which deals with the absorption of the process of industrialisation into the local culture and brings out the part played by Titus Salt in it', he having 'at one time or another served in almost every important position in the town'. Has chapters: 'Bradford in the first decades of industrialisation'; 'The economy and the entrepreneur'; 'Years of crisis, 1834-50'; 'Years of consensus, 1850-1868'; 'The municipal corporation and the environment, 1848-1880'; 'Saltaire'; 'The 'Grand Old Man', 1868-77'
