Abstract
The paper discusses how the Industrial Revolution created issues across England, Europe and the rest of the world that were remarkable when viewed from an environmental and social perspective. The paper asserts that the coal boom in England resulted in much environmental degradation and the beginning of modern pollution as the world knows it, and, this same boom had an impact on English society, resulting in conflicting positives and negatives such as the establishment of a middle class, the terrible conditions of factory labour, child labour, and the need to develop laws to prohibit abuse of workers.

From the Paper
"Development of trade and its effects: By 1837, J. R. McCulloch wrote in his History of Commerce that "The mineral riches of Great Britain, if not superior, are at least equal to those of any other country. We cannot, it is true, boast of gold or silver, but we possess that which is of still more important to a manufacturing nation, an all but inexhaustible supply of the most excellent coal" (Brown 57). Coal production had been growing in Britain throughout the eighteenth..."

Abstract
The paper relates that although recorded history has generally overlooked much of Europe's agricultural development, analysis of past patterns of agricultural productivity is important, as such data is "central to economic development" (Allen 1). The paper discusses how investigation into labour productivity is especially essential, as it is an "important variable in explaining the transition of an urban, industrial economy" (ibid), as was the case with England at the turn of the 1900s. The paper looks at how theorists have acknowledged the divergent agricultural paths of France and England in the twentieth century, though debate exists as to the merits of this growth and central factors behind these developments.

Abstract
This paper describes the relationship of the American colonies to England prior to the Revolutionary War. The author attempts to do this from both the American perspective and that of the British, showing that the relationship between the colonies and England benefitted both sides. The author believes, however, that the main reason for the breakup that occurred between the American colonies and the Empire was the increase of taxes and contributions to the royal Reserve. Additionally, the author shows how the political thought of the time and various acts of legislation also contributed to the break-up.

From the Paper
"The Seven Years War represented a trying moment in the history of the relations between the American colonies and the British. Every colony, throughout the war was forced to offer assistance to the fighting troops; consequently, the US did back Britain in its quest for victory against the French but at the same time gave rise to a serious conflict between them. The British genera opinion was that the colonies should, in their turn contribute to the increase in revenue seeing that they benefited from the protection of the empire."

Abstract
This paper addresses the issues which lead up the England's Civil War in the 17th century. It discusses the results of the civil war, and how it lead to the 'Glorious Revolution.' It then looks at the affects of this revolution on England as well as other parts of western civilization--Scotland, Ireland and France. It spans most of the 17th century.

From the Paper
"In the early 17th century, a series of conflicts regarding religion and politics set off a civil war, or a sequence of civil wars, in England that also had a great affect on Scotland, Ireland and France. These conflicts lead to the English questioning both the power and the religion of their monarchs, which in turn lead to the Glorious Revolution, strengthening England's position as a world power. In 1625, after the death of his father, Charles I became the king of England. One of the first hints of religious difficulties ahead is portrayed through his marriage to the Catholic Henrietta Maria, in a period of time where the religion of choice was Puritanism. This, as well as his involvement in European wars, caused the English Parliament to be suspicious of Charles I."

Abstract
This paper examines the so-called evolution of the concept of "juvenile delinquency" in late Victorian England. The object of the paper is to show that the notion of youth crime was considerably altered during this period--and has served as an exemplar of present-day systems.

From the Paper
"The notion that juvenile delinquency in particular and crimes committed by child and adolescents in general were separate from crimes committed by adults is considered a recent construct. In fact it was not until the first half of the the 19th century in England that such a notion first came about. A corollary to this was the idea that these types of crimes and criminals should be treated differently from hardened adult criminals..."

Abstract
This paper discusses central bank independence and the effects on the U.K. economy of Labour's decision to grant the Bank of England independence in 1997. It analyses inflationary and interest rate data from the years preceding and following Labour's election and cites evidence suggesting that it is inappropriate to ascribe all of the credit for recent low interest rates and inflation solely to the government's decision to make the bank independent.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The Bank of England was established in 1694 as the UK was preparing to embark on a huge expansion in trade activity. A substantial financial source was necessary to provide the country, most especially London, with the liquidity necessary to drive the economy to this new frontier. The argument gained certain impetus after the Glorious Revolution when both William of Orange and Queen Mary simultaneously ascended the throne in 1688. Noted political economist of the time William Petty had observed the success of the Dutch in establishing a central bank in the form of the Amsterdam Wisselbank that had control over coinage, credit facilities and exchange."

Abstract
This paper details the highlights of Anne Boleyn's life and the impact that she had on England.

From the Paper
"Throughout the general history of England, the Legend of Anne Boleyn has endured years of introspection and critique, as well as praise and recognition. Anne Boleyn's notorious marriage to King Henry VIII created the controversy that surrounded her last years of life in England. During her famed marriage to King Henry VII, Anne lived under the extreme pressures stemming from the urgency to produce a male heir to the throne. This requisite placed tension on her relationship with Henry, causing the eventual dissolution of their marriage. At the time of Anne's three-year reign, she acquired all the advantages of a Queen Consort, including the ability to hold influence upon the King's decisions and judgments within his kingdom. Although her time on the throne was short lived, Anne Boleyn prospered in many of her personal endeavors as the Queen of England."
