The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820
Author: Leslie TomoryPublisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421422042
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
"Beginning in 1580, London companies sold water to consumers through a large network of wooden mains in the expanding metropolis. This new water industry flourished throughout the 1600s, eventually expanding to serve tens of thousands of homes. By the late eighteenth century, more than 80 percent of the city's houses had water connections-making London the best-served metropolis in the world while demonstrating that it was legally, commercially, and technologically possible to run an infrastructure network within the largest city on earth. Leslie Tomory shows how new technologies imported from the Continent, including waterwheel-driven piston pumps, spurred the rapid growth of London's water industry. The business was further sustained by an explosion in consumer demand. Meanwhile, several key local innovations reshaped the industry by enlarging the size of the supply network. By 1800, the success of London's water industry made it a model for other cities in Europe and beyond as they began to build their own water networks, and it inspired builders of other large-scale urban projects, including gas and sewage supply networks."--Provided by the publisher.

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
This is a public domain document.General Washington's most trusted companions during the war were the aides-de-camp. Over thirty people served in this capacity during the war, including the Marquis de Lafayette. The correspondence of two of Washington's aides, William Grayson and Tench Tilghman are included in this volume. William Grayson helped support Washington during the beginning of the War for Independence, later becoming a military leader and a statesman. Tench Tilghman served longer than any other aide, and spent countless hours transcribing letters from General Washington. Indeed, we would not have so many of the letters of Washington to Jefferson, Henry, Lafayette, or other leaders, were it not for the steady hand of Tench Tilghman.This volume explores the correspondence between the General of the Continental Army and two of his most trusted supporters during the war.
