HINTS TO BOTH PARTIES; OR OBSERVATIONS ON THE PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT UPON THE PETITIONS AGAINST THE ORDERS IN COUNCIL, AND ON THE CONDUCT OF HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS IN GRANTING LICENCES TO IMPORT THE STAPLE COMMODITIES OF THE ENEMY.
New York: E. Sargeant, 1808. pp [1]-40, [73]-92 [as issued]. Stitched, untrimmed, lightly dusted and foxed. Good+. A protest against modification or suspension of the Orders in Council. The author rebuts the arguments that the Orders will "interrupt our peace with the United States of America;" that the Orders are ineffective, because British goods are imported to America, which then exports them to France's West Indian colonies; that the Orders exacerbate balance of trade issues with America; and other concerns whose significance is, he says, "what a wen is to the human body."
