Abstract: Because of the industrial progress in Britain during the eighteenth century, many visitors came to see what was being achieved. Thus began a long tradition of industrial espionage and technology transfer. Some came simply out of interest and curiosity, but the main aim was to rival Britain in industry and production. This paper provides examples of these activities.
