First 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. -- Sermon 1. On the connection and mutual relation between Christian morality, good government, and national commerce. -- Sermon 2. Using the world without abusing it, or, the true boundaries set forth between the luxurious and the temperate, the vitious and the virtuous enjoyments of God's good creatures, with their respective effects and influence on national commerce, national riches, and national prosperity. |
