The Meat Trade in Britain 1840-1914.

8vo. x, 258 pp. Index. Cloth, dust-jacket. Ownership signature of Edwin Clarke, 1978. Laid in are 2 items: a copy of a review of this book, by John Othick (a positive review), and a personal inscription (also laid in) from the noted and endearing London bookseller, Richard D. Gurney, to his unnamed client [Arthur Frank]. Very good. Authoritative work which sets well the forces that contributed to challenges for the meat trade in England. "Dr. Perrin discusses the ways in which both central government and local government increased their supervision of the trade: central government supervision was introduced of livestock disease from abroad, while local authorities took the opportunity, under the Public Health Acts, to lay down minimum standards for the trade in order to protect the health of the nation." / Dr. Richard Perren was a lecturer in economic history at the University of Aberdeen. PROVENANCE: Edwin Clarke (1919-1996), British neurologist and medical historian, best remembered for his role as Director of the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine
