33. Although the phrase “industrial revolution” is generally attributed to Arnold Toynbee and the posthumous publication in 1884 of his Lectures on the Industrial Revolution in England, its use was actually quite widespread long before that date. Paul Manloux, in a footnote on page 25 of The Industrial Revolution in the Eighteenth Century (New York, [1927]), cites as examples of its earlier appearance passages in Karl Marx (1867), Fried‐rich Engels (1856), and John Stuart Mill (1848). Garfield was familiar with the writings of Mill.
