In the background is the story of the trade in sea coal: how it began, how it broke loose from the shackles of a guild economy, how it passed through periods of laissez faire and unrestricted competition, and how it now operates within the framework of a state-regulated industry. In the foreground are details of the administrative machinery of the Port in which the factor’s business was enmeshed— the collection of Customs and the Lord Mayor’s dues, the regulation of colliers as a major element in river traffic, and so on. Sea Coal for London is the product of extensive original research and is largely based on the records of the Coal Factors’ Society. It is a contribution to the history not only of the trade itself but also of the commerce of London’s River and the Port. Smith (Tom C.)
