Abstract
- The article presents an overview of several studies on economic history published in various U.S. journals in 1968. The conventional wisdom on the patterns of eighteenth-century seaborne trade has received a strong jolt from G.M. Walton's article "New Evidence on Colonial Commerce," published in the September 1968 issue of the "Journal of Economic History." 1968. If his data present an adequate description of all actual voyages, Walton's findings will require a major revision of the textbooks. In the country west of Philadelphia, the growth of wealth from commerce and land is shown by J.T. Lemon and G.B. Nash, in the article "The Distribution of Wealth in 18th Century America: A Century of Change in Chester County, Pennsylvania, 1693-1802," published in the Autumn 1968 issue of the "Journal of Social History." D. Montgomery's article "The Working Classes of the Pre-industrial American City," published in the Winter 1968 issue of the journal "Labor History," touches on matters of interest to students of urbanization and industrialization.
