Item description from seller

8vo. pp. 2 p.l., xlvii, 345, [38]tables & indexes, 24(Table IX). 10 folding tables. 19th century half calf (extremities worn, upper margin of e4 defective only affecting running title, scattered foxing). Inscribed 'From the Author'. armorial bookplate of Sir Wm. Purves Hume Campbell. 1824 inscription from Campbell giving the book to the Marchmont Library. Sixth Enlarged Edition. A detailed exposition and statistical comparison of the imports and exports of Great Britain and the United States, from 1700 to 1783. With each edition, Sheffield substantially revised and enlarged the text. Written in opposition to the bill introduced by Pitt in 1783, proposing to relax the navigation laws in favour of the States, the work was influential in determining the abandonment of the motion. Sheffield points up the weak position of America and continually stresses the growing commercial importance and potential of the West Indies and Canada (especially Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, particularly with regard to fisheries, lumber, and ship-building). There are a total of 16 tables on 29 leaves and folding sheets. Gagnon I 3295. Goldsmiths' 12623. Howes H-616. Kress B.784. Sabin 32633. TPL 577. cfJCB 2999. cfLande 784.
