	1	Burley, David G. A PARTICULAR CONDITION IN LIFE: SELF-EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL MOBILITY IN MID-VICTORIAN BRANTFORD, ONTARIO. McGill-Queen's University Press, Kingston, (1994), Ist printing. 309 pp, 8vo, HC in dust jacket. "...offers a new perspective on industrial capitalism and class formation in Canada. Using Brantford, Ontario, as a case study, he provides a cultural analysis of the business community during the mid-nineteenth cen tury and shows that, because self-employment was so pervasive, the impact of industrializatin was particularly striking. Self-employed businessmen were forced to try to locate themselves in an emerging class system that often contradicted t r a d i t i o n al Victorian social ideals of independence and manliness. Burley's exploration of the tensions behind the conflicting values - tension both between myth and reality and within the bourgois world view of itself - is an important ad di ti on t o th e li te rature on business behaviour and Victorian cultural history." Two small areas of brown staining at bottom of textblock. Dust jacket has light edgewear/creasing, light wrinkling due to dampness to bottom half of rear panel/ spi ne (ba rel y not ic eab le from front). VG/G Price: 15.00 USD
