Abstract
Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.
The data were gathered to provide a model illustrating concentrated and deconcentrated interests and successful lobbying. Data on hundreds of various occupational types, gathered from commercial directories and court directories for nineteenth century British cities and towns, were grouped into fifteen categories. Data on Anti-Corn Law League subscriptions were obtained from two published sources.
Main Topics:
Industry concentration; geographic concentration; pressure group activity (Anti-Corn Law League); parliamentary voting behaviour on trade policy.
