"The Royal Exchange AND THE PALACE OF INDUSTRY; or, The Possible Future of Europe and the World" by Rev. Thomas Binney is a spiritual exploration from the 1800s that asks readers to consider the relationship between belief, trade, and developing communities, suggesting a future for the world built on religious ideals. Binney thinks about what the Royal Exchange and the Great Exhibition of All Nations mean, arguing that everyone is connected under God. The book starts with a descriptive revisiting of a fire at London’s Royal Exchange, which leads to thoughtful consideration about its cultural and spiritual importance. Binney considers the Royal Exchange as an important place for business, where different countries meet, which he relates to the statement that God owns the earth. He plans to connect this with looking into worship, moral behavior, and the idea of harmony between countries, indicating that agreeing with this statement could result in improvements in European and global society and politics.
