Notes:
Deals with 'social and political attitudes' in Coventry especially in connection with the fortunes of the weavers involved in silk ribbon production which was carried on in domestic workshops by family units. Touches notably on the continuation of workshop production, system and changing level of remuneration, the impact of tariff changes in 1826 and 1860, etc
