Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Anatomy of the Navigation Laws In the last Session of the late Parliament, a Select Committee was appointed to inquire into the operation and policy of the Navigation Laws. This Committee sat more than five months, examined upwards of thirty witnesses, and finished on the 17th July of the present year, by reporting "the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Committee, as the period of the Session did not admit of their making any Report thereon." It would be unbecoming in me to hazard a conjecture as to the result of the investigation in the minds of the other members of the Select Committee; for myself, I am free to acknowledge, that it confirmed my previous impression of the impolicy and mischievous tendency of the maritime laws of Great Britain; and I have relied mainly in this treatise on the testimony of witnesses examined on both sides of the question, to substantiate the opinions I have expressed, and the arguments by which those opinions are maintained. For the rest, the work must speak for itself. I cannot conclude this brief preface without acknowledging the able assistance which I have received from Mr. Robert R. R. Moore, to whose talent and industry I have been much indebted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
