OBSERVATIONS UPON COMMERCIAL TERMS OF PEACE WITH FRANCE, AND OUR OWN RESOURCES. BY A LONDON MERCHANT.
London: Printed for Gale and Curtis, 1812. 50pp, disbound. Minor occasional soil, Very Good.
The "commercial treaty with France arose out of the peace of 1783." London Merchant complains that no "fair degree of reciprocity, between Great Britain and France, was embraced by its stipulations." Post-Treaty events, particularly those deriving from the French Revolution, "have tended to estrange us further" from successful efforts "to restore the balance." He urges steps to maintain peace with France, arguing that British naval superiority, as well as the strength of British institutions, will encourage trade and a peace advantageous to England.
