| Summary | "Worcestershire in the Nineteenth Century" by T. C. Turberville is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The volume serves as a comprehensive digest of significant events and developments in Worcestershire from the year 1800 onward, with an emphasis on factual reporting rather than narrative storytelling. It captures the progress of the county during a pivotal period, highlighting changes in population, agriculture, industry, and local governance. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage by discussing the remarkable advancements Worcestershire has undergone, particularly in population growth and agricultural improvements. Statistics and general observations illustrate the economic conditions, the rise of various manufacturing sectors, and the context surrounding elections and public institutions. The author aims to provide a thoroughly factual basis for understanding the progress within the county, while acknowledging the limitations of personal opinion in what is intended to be a utility-driven chronicle. Overall, this opening portion establishes a serious tone, focusing on the substantial changes occurring within Worcestershire as it adapts to the dynamic nature of the 19th century.
