"The authors show that by the middle of the 18th century an intricate network of shops was firmly established and increasing, and that many of the innovations previously attributed to early- or mid- Victorian entrepreneurs actually began in the 18th century. Illustrationg their discussion of the many and varied changes which occurred in retailing with discriptions of the merchants of the period, the authors demonstrate that shopkeepeers, particularly the petty shopkeepers frequently ignored by contemporary social enumerators and later historians, were an important part of the developing English economy." from the jacket flap.
