Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 92 For many years after the Norman conquest, wool formed the chief export of England. The pastoral races that inhabited the British Isles suffered the Flemings to convert their fleeces into tissues, by skilled labor, and the dominions of the Duke of Burgundy, enriched by manufactures and by the stimulus they gave to agriculture, became the most flourishing part of Europe. At length the islanders began to discover the sources of this prosperity, and gradually learned to keep their wool at home, and to invite the Flemings to the shores of England. Sir Walter Raleigh wrote, three centuries ago, that the greatest question of the hour was, "Shall we export our great staple to enrich Flanders, or weave it at home?" The oppression of Spain and France aided the policy of England; wool ceased to be the chief of English exports; a basis was laid for home manufactures, and English cloth was sent abroad in place of the unwrought material.
