Welcome to my newsletter, Age of Invention, on the causes of the British Industrial Revolution and the history of innovation. You can subscribe here: Last week, we explored the transformative 1620s. This week, I’d like to provide a short introduction to the 1720s - a decade that’s mostly ignored or forgotten. Just as before, I’ll be focusing on what the decade meant for British institutions and innovation.
