    WILLIAM FURMVAL, H. E. FALK AND THE SALT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, 1815-1889: "OME CHAPTERS IN THE ECONOMIC HISTORY OF CHESHIRE BY W. H. CHALONER, M.A., PH.D. Read 17 November 1960 N the second volume of his Economic History of Modern I Britain (p. 145), Sir John Clapham, writing of the chambers of commerce and trade associations which multiplied rapidly after 1860, suggested that between 1850 and 1875 "there was rather less co-operation among 'capitalist' producers than there had been in the more difficult first and second quarters" of the nineteenth century. He mentioned that in the British salt industry there had been price-fixing associations "based on a local monopoly" in the early nineteenth century, and added that after 1825 the industry "witnessed alternations of gentle­ men's agreements and 'fighting trade' " until the formation of the Salt Union in 1888. This combine has been called "the first British trust", but to the salt proprietors of the time it was merely "a new device, made easier by limited liability, for handling an old problem". (1) The purpose of this study is to examine in greater detail the business organisation of the natural local monopoly enjoyed by the Cheshire saltmakers in the nineteenth century and to trace the part played by "The Coalition" and the Salt Chamber of Commerce in fostering price regulation and output restriction between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and 1889.< 2 > 111 Op. cit., pp. 147-8; see also Accounts and Papers, 1817, III, 123, p. 22, and E.

    Anna Martin Lee Mathson Middle School Ancient & Medieval World History Appropriate for Grades 6-7 Cross-Cultural Exchange on the Trans-Saharan Trade Routes: A Cooperative Group-work Mini Unit Mini-Unit Objective: Students will analyze the effects of geography on and cultural interchange between Islam and West Africa by examining and creating a creative presentation using primary sources and artifacts relating to trans-Saharan trade and adaptation to the desert. Students will be assessed on their individual primary source analysis and their contributions to the group’s presentation on the element of culture and/or theme of geography assigned. CA Standards: Background: This unit is intended to serve as a capstone for the study of two separate units on the spread of Islam and the trans-Saharan trade empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. Alternatively, it could be used as an exploratory unit bridging those two units. Depending on the number of students and time/resources available, teachers may want to limit the number of cooperative group tasks to fewer than those offered in this unit. Also, if studying ancient history, a selection of just one or two of the cooperative group work activities related to nomadic lifestyle and adaptation to the environment might be used to culminate or begin the study of settled versus nomadic ways of life. Cooperative groups of 4-5 students should be pre-assigned with a heterogeneous grouping intended to mix reading levels, gender, and multiple abilities to best help each other to complete the tasks. If students do not frequently use cooperative groupings, have them complete a short group skill builder, such as creating a team name or finding two commonalities between them to ease group tension and feel comfortable working as a group.

    Identification and Evaluation of the South San Francisco Bay Solar Salt Industry Landscape (Alameda, Santa Clara, and San Mateo Counties, California)

    APPENDIX E: Identification and Evaluation of the South San Francisco Bay Solar Salt Industry Landscape (Alameda, Santa Clara, and San Mateo Counties, California) For the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and California Department of Fish and Game Archimedes Screw pumps, Oliver Salt Works, Eden Landing, view to S (2007-12-01:57). By Lou Ann Speulda-Drews and Nicholas Valentine U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 Sacramento, California March 9, 2009 Introduction The South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project’s (SBSPRP) goal is to convert the heavily modified environment of the solar salt industry back to native salt marsh. The restoration is focused on portions of San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda Counties, and comprises approximately 15,100 acres of former salt ponds located around the edge of South San Francisco Bay. The SBSPRP encompasses property managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG). The agencies are working together along with the California State Coastal Conservancy (Conservancy) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to develop a cohesive approach to restoration and complying with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The project overlaps five USGS 7.5’ topographical quadrangle maps: Newark, Redwood Point, Palo Alto, Milpitas, and Mountain View. The SBSPRP’s goal is to restore the industrial salt production ponds in South San Francisco Bay to a more natural mix of tidal wetland habitats and managed ponds. The SBSPP is composed of three noncontiguous units, including Eden Landing on the east side of the Bay near the San Mateo bridge; the Alviso unit at the southern end of the bay; and the West Bay-Ravenswood unit located on the west side of the Bay near the Dumbarton Bridge (Figure 1 and Appendix A).

    1. Introduction: Salt, Sodium Chloride, Has Probably Been with Us from The

    1. Introduction: Salt, sodium chloride, has probably been with us from the beginnings of geologic time, and has been necessary directly or indirectly through all stages of evolution of living things. The first oceans undoubtedly contained traces of salt, and our unicellular ancestors first appeared and thrived in this salty marine environment. In the process of evolution, these unicellular ancestors became multi-cellular, and some left their salty marine environment but still required salt. Our herbivorous ancestors used salt licks, and our carnivorous ones obtained their salt form the flesh and blood of their prey. This demand is necessity of/or all living for things for salt in one form or another continues today.Our bodies contain relatively large quantities of salt, as we may infer from the taste of “blood, sweat, and tears.”(Dalf.w.Knutmann, 1971) Salt, NaCl, is a chemical compound made of sodium and chloride which has been exceptionally important to humans for thousands of years, because it is one of the substances upon which all of life evolved to depend. Humans, like all life, need a supply of salt in order to simply survive. Salt's ability to preserve food was a foundation of civilization. It helped to eliminate the dependence on the seasonal availability of food and it allowed travel over long distances. However, salt was difficult to obtain, and so it was a highly valued trade item to the point of being considered a form of currency by certain peoples. Many salt roads, such as via salaria in Italy, had been established by the Bronze Age.

Staros Professor E. o 'Day History 492 7 May, 1996 The Renaissance in Europe has been described as a time of intellectual awakening and cultural prosperity. Voltaire characterized the time between the early fourteenth to the late sixteenth centuries as one of the greatest ages of human cultural achievement. This time period, known as the Renaissance, was qualified in the nineteenth century as a distinct historical period, the birth of the modern era, characterized by the rise of humanism, scientific inquiry, geographical exploration and the growth of secular values. Today the concept of "Renaissance" is firmly established as one of the most well known cultural and intellectual movements of Europe.' The causes for such a strong movement in European society have been fuel for debate as long as the early modern period of European history has been studied by historians.

The wealthiest merchant in mid-Cheshire, Marshall determined that his family should one day sit on committees and at table with the greatest in the land. To this end he sent his son to Eton, Cambridge, and the Middle Temple. And his grandson did indeed climb towards the highest levels of society. I FOUNDING THE FAMILY FORTUNE During the seventeenth century the Marshalls lived in Nant- wich. They began business as shoemakers, then as framework knitters. By hard work they grew prosperous, so that when Richard Marshall died in 1692 the family owned a fine "dwelling house in the welshrow" and valuable textile machinery. But living in one of Cheshire's salt towns, the family naturally acquired a "wich-house & twelve leads walling", that is, equip­ ment for raising and boiling brine to produce salt. Salt had long been valued as a preservative and seasoner of food by the fisheries and the navy, by dairy farmers and every housewife, but during the industrial age it was to become an important raw material in the glass, soap, and chemical industries. To invest in salt, therefore, was to plan sensibly for future prosperity. The Marshalls sent much of their cloth and, probably, small loads of salt overland to Northwich, and then by river or road to Liverpool.
