66pp stapled booklet with printed card covers (covers a little faded and toned at edges). Some mild toning at page margins internally with a previous owner's name on the title page, else neat and tidy internally. The Mechanics' institute movement was symptomatic of the early phase of the industrial revolution, based on a utopian belief in the capacity of scientific progress to cure society's ills. This booklet, based on the thesis work of the author, examines the establishment and development of Dundee's mechanics institute, the Watt Institution, and its impact on the surrounding area.
