Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A single-sheet printed broadside setting out the English silk weavers' side in a dispute with French merchants over a proposed bill. It presents tables from London customs entries (Michaelmas 1668 to 1669) of wrought, thrown, raw and ferret silk imports by country of origin, with weights and subsidy paid. The accompanying observations argue that French silks escape customs duties and discourage English weavers, and defend the proposal for a seal on imported goods.
