Publisher's Synopsis
A Brief Examination of Lord Sheffield's Observations on the Commerce of the United States is a historical book written by Tench Coxe in 1792. The book is a response to Lord Sheffield's book, Observations on the Commerce of the United States, which was published in 1784. Lord Sheffield's book criticized the United States' economic policies and argued that the country was not capable of becoming a major commercial power. In A Brief Examination, Coxe refutes Sheffield's arguments and defends the economic policies of the United States. Coxe argues that the United States has the potential to become a major commercial power and that its economic policies are sound. He also discusses the advantages of free trade and the benefits of a strong commercial relationship between the United States and Great Britain. The book is divided into four parts. The first part provides an overview of Sheffield's book and Coxe's response. The second part examines the economic policies of the United States, including its trade policies, tariffs, and navigation acts. The third part discusses the advantages of free trade and the benefits of a strong commercial relationship between the United States and Great Britain. The final part provides a summary of Coxe's arguments and conclusions. Overall, A Brief Examination of Lord Sheffield's Observations on the Commerce of the United States is an important historical document that provides insight into the economic policies and debates of the late 18th century. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of economics, trade, and commerce in the United States and Great Britain.With Two Supplementary Notes On American Manufactures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
