An essay on the increase and decline of trade, in London and the out-ports [electronic resource] : wherein is shewn, that monopolies have been the ruin of several branches of the London commerce; That Luxury and high Living have, in all Ages, been the Bane of Trade, and have had remarkable Effects upon the British Commerce; That the Inhabitants of London are now richer, and daily gain greater Wealth than in any Time past, when their Trade was supposed to be in the most flourishing State; That no People in the Kingdom have so little Reason to complain of the Burden of Taxes as the Inhabitants of London, or less Cause to find Fault with the unequal Distribution of the Favours of the Government; That all the Merchants in the Out-Ports are not clandestine Dealers, and licensed Smugglers, as hath in too general Terms been asserted; And that it is the Interest of London to have the Out-Ports share with it in some Branches of Commerce; With several other Matters worthy to be known and considered by every Merchant of Britain.
