At the time London was the largest and most vibrant city in the Western world. In fact the British Empire was the centre of print culture, Slavery, finance, fashion, the fiscal system, and bureaucracy of the British state grew in efficacy and range,
It was victorious in all but one of a succession of major wars. Legitimised by achievement and buttressed by massive economic and political power, The Church of England and Britain's landed elite kept at bay every domestic revolution except the industrial one, which only enriched it more. The American war of independence and French Revolution, of course, was not averted; but while this crisis embarrassed the British Empire, it did not destroy it.
