  Do large cities grow more or less rapidly than small ones? This book looks at the process of population growth in a national set of cities. It studies the growth of cities in England and Wales between 1801 and 1911; and views the way in which 3 innovations - the telephone, building societies and gaslighting - spread amongst towns in 19th century.
