In 1835, the French writer Alexis de Tocqueville wrote of the great English manufacturing city
Manchester: “From this foul drain the greatest stream of human industry flows out to fertilize the
whole world. From this filthy sewer pure gold flows. Here humanity attains its most complete
development and its most brutish; here civilization makes its miracles, and civilized man is
turned back almost into a savage.”
