English Industries of the Middle Ages Being an Introduction to the Industrial History of Medieval England

"English Industries of the Middle Ages" by L. F. (Louis Francis) Salzman is a look into England's workplaces of many years ago, back before Queen Elizabeth. The book, written in the early 1900s, presents the main industries that were around during that time. It takes you through things like mines and how stuff was made, while providing an overview of what things were like in those days. The start tells you how the book is set up, explaining that it's for people who just want to learn something and for students who want to dig deeper. Salzman talks about how things worked back then, starting with digging for coal, how they got it out of the ground, and what it meant for people. The author also shows how important certain industries were, looking at how they were set up, connected to the economy, and shaped how people lived in medieval England.
