This collection of articles represents a wide range of approaches to and perspective on the ownership, use and transmission of property in 18th and 19th-century towns. An introductory essay highlights the importance of property and inheritance in shaping social, cultural economic and political structures and interactions within and between towns and cities. Writing from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, the contributos then explore in detail the changing meaning of property to households and individuals; the social, economic and geographical contexts of inheritance practices; the geography of wealth; the role of gender in shaping property relations and, perhaps above all, the enduring link between property, the family and the household in urban contexts.

Town versus country - the proprty of everyday consumption in the late 17th and early 18th centuries; meanings of property and the world of the petite bourgeosie; property, will-making and estate disposal in an industrial town, 1800-1857; social and geographical contexts of property transmission in the 18th century; the role of London in Britain's wealth structure, 1809-99 - further evidence; inheritance and the family - the Scottish urban experience in athe 1820s; women, property and inheritance - wealth creation and income generation in small English towns, 1750-1853; independent women, wealth and wills in 19th-century London.
