Brewster (Francis). New Essay's on Trade, Wherein the present State of our Trade, it's Great Decay in the Chief Branches of it, and the Fatal Consequence thereof to the Nation (unless timely Remedy'd) is considered, under the most Important Heads of Trade and Navigation, printed for H. Walwyn, 1702, (16) + 128pp., with a folding table between pp.104 & 105, contemporary ownership inscription of ‘Knapton’ to head of title, contemporary plain ruled sheep, rubbed and some wear to extremities (discreetly refurbished), 8vo, together with: Burrish (Onslaw), Batavia Illustrata: or, a view of the policy, and commerce, of the United Provinces: Particularly of Holland. With an enquiry into the alliances of the States General, with the Emperor, France, Spain, and Great Britain, printed for William Innys and G. Strahan, 1728, title-page, vi +580 pp,. three engraved vignettes, woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces, contemporary brown calf (Qty: 2) Brewster: Goldsmiths 3857; Kress 2335; Hanson 130; not in Einaudi, Mattioli, or Amex Bank. Burrish: Kress 3740. Irish merchant and writer on trade Francis Brewster had been lord mayor of Dublin in 1674. In 1695 he published Essays on Trade and Navigation, in which he argued that England was fleecing Ireland and treating his country oppressively and unfairly, and proposing a council of trades, a national bank, and other reforms. His New Essay's on Trade of 1702 emphatically predicts a decline in trade. He insists upon the necessity of allowing the exportation of wool, England being not able to work up two-thirds of its own, and forced 'either to Burn or Export it'. He recommends manufactures as a means of employing the poor. 'I think him a great Man that employs Twenty Men at his Looms, and Five Hundred Spinners, and wonder we have no more such in Parliament'. Onslaw Burrish was British Envoy to Germany and the Low Countries, and here describes the Dutch state and its fisheries, manufactures, the Dutch East India Company, and overseas trade.
