"Szostak [has] helped to begin the process of revising the revisionists. He has done so with a ... careful, intelligent, and pointed reassertion of the classic view of the English and French economies in the eighteenth century. [This book] is a clean, cogent, convincing synthesis and reinterpretation of modern scholarship on a matter of fundamental importance, the beginnings of industrialization in the western world." Reed Geiger, Department of History, University of Delaware.
"Szostak's research is thorough. He has widely consulted both archival and secondary sources in England and France. His material on the quality of the two transportation systems is particularly well documented ... and he is careful to discuss less well-known industrial processes (bleaching, printing) or sub-sectors." Dr J. Jones, Canadian Institute of Guided Ground Transport, Queen's University.
