Four tracts, on political and commercial subjects

Third edition of a compilation of essays by a Dean of Cambridge University, giving the British perspective on economic aspects of the conflict with Britain's American colonies. Contents: Tract 1. A Solution of the important question, whether a poor country, where raw materials and provisions are cheap, and wages low, can support the trade of a rich manufacturing country, where raw materials and provisions are dear, and the price of labour high, with a postscript obviating objections -- Tract 2. The Case of going to war for the sake of trade, considered in a new light, being the fragment of a greater work -- Tract 3. A letter from a merchant in London, to his nephew in America, concerning the late and present disturbances in the colonies -- Tract 4. The true interest of Great-Britain set forth in regard to the colonies, and the only means of living in peace and harmony with them.
