This ambitious and challenging collection of tightly interwoven essays will find an eager au- dience among students and faculty in British and imperial history, as well as those interested in liberalism and moder- nity in other parts of the world.” Jordanna BaILkIn, author of The Culture of Property: The Crisis of Liberalism in Modern Britain “This volume investigates no less than the relationship of liberalism to Britain’s rise as an empire and the first modern nation. In its global scope and with its broad historical perspective, it makes a strong case for why British history still matters. It will be central for anyone interested in understanding how modernity came about.” Frank TrenTMann, author of Free Trade Nation: Consumption, Commerce, and Civil Society in Modern Britain In this wide-ranging volume, leading scholars across several disciplines—history, literature, sociology, and cultural studies—investigate the nature of liberalism and modernity in imperial Britain since the eighteenth century. They show how Britain’s liberal version of modernity (of capitalism, democracy, and imperialism) was the product of a peculiar set of historical cir- cumstances that continues to haunt our neoliberal present.

It belongs to family Verbenaceae, commonly known as unnichedi. The dye has good scope in the commercial dyeing of cotton in textile industry. In the present investigation, bleached cotton fabrics were dyed with different chemical mordants. Dyeing was carried out by pre-mordanting, post mordanting and simultaneous mordanting. Fastness properties of the dyed samples were determined by standard IS methods. The dyed samples have shown good washing, light and rubbing fastness properties. The various colour changes were measured by computer colour matching software. The range of colour developed on dyed samples were evaluated in terms of (L*a*b*) CIELAB coordinates and the dye absorption on the cotton was studied by using K/S values. An ICPMS study was also performed for the dye extract. This study has proved that, heavy metals such as antimony, arsenic, cadmium and lead were not present in the dye extract.
