Excerpt from The Tendency Towards Industrial Combination a Study of the Modern Movement, Towards Industrial Combination, in Some Spheres of British, Industry: Its Forms and Developments, Their Causes, and Their Determinant Circumstances The present analysis of the problem presented by the Modern Tendency towards Industrial Combination has been prepared for publication by an apprentice author only with considerable diffidence. For its career so far has been somewhat chequered. The original intention was to prepare a more detailed analysis of the history of industrial combination particularly in the coal industry right from the time of the Hostmen's Vends of Newcastle in the sixteenth century. However, the publication of Dr. H. Levy's volume - Monopole, Kartelle u. Trusts, containing a wealth of sifted material relating to the Newcastle Coal Vends, largely anticipated me as to the above intention, and also as to some of the conclusions relating to the probable development and influence of the combination movement in Great Britain. The suggestion then presented itself that the materials already assembled might be utilized for a general analysis of the combination tendency in various spheres of British industry, so as to indicate the lines of development and forms of organization discernible within the general tendency, and also to lay bare underlying causes and determinant circumstances and to estimate probable developments. The wealth of material already available, particularly from the writings of Messrs. H. W. Macrosty and J. A. Hobson, seemed to necessitate that further study should be analytic rather than descriptive. The volume of Professor D. H. Macgregor, Industrial Combination, provided an excellent model for a further general analysis of the combination movement in various British industries, particularly when taken in conjunction with the other writings indicated above.
