Important themes from the  Industrial Revolution - London versus the provinces, aristocratic pretensions versus humble  talent, life versus death - are deftly illuminated. Robert Fox has fashioned a gem. -- Arnold Thackray, Joseph Priestley Professor Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania and Founding President, Science History Institute, USA\u003cbr\u003eRobert Fox’s long-awaited valuable biography of Thomas Garnett provides a very human and moving story of a life in late eighteenth-century Britain.
