Long before Liverpool was a global city, it was a raw, surging seaport on the edge of empire. Here, Liverpool watches itself grow. In this landmark eighteenth century town history, James Wallace records the ancient origins and rapid urban development of Liverpool as it transforms into a key hub of British maritime history and Atlantic maritime commerce. Blending civic chronicle, topographical survey and keen observation of government, police, antiquities and modern improvements, it stands as a foundational Liverpool history book and British local history reference, vivid enough for general readers yet rich enough for historians and researchers. Written in the closing decades of 18th century Britain, the volume offers one of the earliest detailed local narratives of Georgian era Liverpool's expansion, including a circumstantial contemporary account of the town's extensive African trade, crucial for understanding Liverpool slave trade history and the wider Atlantic world studies. Its careful record of streets, squares, public buildings and inhabitants captures a port in motion, making it valuable both as an academic history textbook and as an evocative portrait for anyone drawn to the urban development of Liverpool. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
