Not illustrated. 1804 edition. Excerpt: ... of the river, they place it upon a level part of the rock, and with a flat piece of board, accommodated with a handle, they beat it till they suppose the dirt is sufficiently discharged, and then spread it upon the large stones lying in the river to dry. How far such a plan may be economical, I know not; but it saves fuel, an article of consequence to the poor of this district. The summer was uncommonly hot and dry, and the contributary streams to Teifi were unable to furnish their accustomed supplies, so that the bed of the river was left dry. No stream had run for some weeks, and the little water in the pools was almost used or evaporated. The inconvenience arising to the town may be better imagined than expressed: a general want of this essential article was'experienced, and dreading still worse in future, a general consternation seized the minds of the people, who began to believe that a judgment had fallen upon the place, and that their great and venerable benefactor would never be able to befriend them any more. After visiting the woods of Henllan, and that part of the vale above Llandyssil, we turned our steps towards the sea. Leaving Mr. Lloyd's of Bronwyn on our left, and passing by Capel Drinidad, we came to a spot called Castell Gwythern, where stood the palace of Vortigern, struck down by lightning as a judgment on the numerous crimes of that incestuous Prince: it is a high precipitous rock, without the least vestige of a building, and was probably no more than a British military post. They have a curious contrivance in this country for the preparation of their new corn for the mill. As there is seldom any old corn by the time of harvest, necessity obliges them to turn the new into bread before it is naturally sufficiently...

Excerpt from Letters Written During a Tour Through South Wales, in the Year 1803, and at Other Times: Containing Views of the History, Antiquities, and Customs of That Part of the Principality; And Interspersed With Observations on Its Scenery, Agriculture, Botany, Mineralogy, Trade and Manufactures Wales, from its numerous productions, it calculated to afford. The remarks of those who have travelled for pleasure have generally partaken of the nature of their motives; and the inaccuracy of their descrip tions has, to'o often, resembled the rapidity of their steps. Useful travel has a twofold object. It ended-s vows to benefit the country it. Visits, while it labours to accumulate advantages for its own. If in asoer taining facts I have sometimes slightly animadverted upon authors, who fancy themselves entitled to more generation and respect, and who conceive I have been too free with their works, I say, disclaiming every idea of personality, Amicus Plato, Anxious Socrates, Jed magi: amim Veritas.

Company towns - those associated with textiles, mining, or tool manufacturing, for example - are found worldwide and have been in existence for many centuries. But with the coming of the Industrial Revolution, what had been isolated instances of town building became a veritable phenomenon. With explosive growth, virtually hundreds of them appeared in the Western World until about the time of the Great Depression, with development most intensive and homogenous in Europe and the Americas. Although the technological experience of the Industrial Revolution has been widely chronicled and the stories of misplaced banking and exploited labor well documented, until now the actual settings of company towns and the overall achievement in industrial architecture and town planning have been largely ignored. The Company Town describes the concurrent development and building of selected towns in Europe and the Americas, assessing technical advances in factory building, worker housing, and the public buildings that owner-industrialists, in their capacity as philanthropists, bestowed upon such towns. In many instances, the company town came to symbolize the wrecking of the environment, especially in places associated with extractive industries such as mining and lumber milling. Some resident industrialists, however, took a genuine interest in the welfare of their work forces, and in a number of instances hired architects to provide a model environment. Overtaken by time, these towns were either abandoned or caught up in suburban growth. The most thorough-going and only international assessment of the company town, this collection of essays by specialists and authorities of each region offers a balancedaccount of architectural and social history and provides a better understanding of the architectural and urban experiences of the early industrial age.
