'A highly stimulating analysis ... A masterful application of
social theory to a historical problem ... a fine piece of
scholarship which puts forward a bold and innovative thesis. A
"must" for researchers and students concerned with the transition
of Britian from a pre-industrial to an industrial society.' - Urban
History
'A significant contribution to our knowledge of the development of
the professions in a book that is also a serendipity for the reader
, whther academic or lay, in providing a well-written, enjoyable,
thought-provoking and entertaining read' - Judy Slinn, Oxford
Brookes University
A fine study of the substantial diversification in the sources of
social power in eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain ...
this book authoritatively fills a long-standing gap in the
historiography of the cultural production of expertise.' - Steve
Hindle, English Historical Review, November 1997
