Descripción

First edition, 8vo, [2], 46pp., modern marbled boards. This is a copy of the variant printing in two copies examined by Moore, no priority has been established. ìThe author, who writes as a Tory and Churchman, explains to his friend in the country how Parliament came to make the amazing mistake of rejecting the Bill of Commerce - of which he supplies the text. The arguments brought against the Bill at the Bar of the House by spokesmen for various commercial interests were very easy to refute, and the Dutch would be the real gainers from continued trade barriers against France. Altogether, though one would not rule out Defoeís authorship, the basis for an ascription to him does not seem very solid.î - Furbank and Owens. Moore, 265; Furbank and Owens, Defoe De-Attributions, 265: Kress, 2833; Goldsmith, 5016; Hanson, 1843.
