Описание: This 1791 report on the balance of trade between Britain and the United States inquired into the effects of new American duties on trade with Britain. In this context, the prosperity of the British West Indian colonies depended entirely on their slave-based economy, and abolition was therefore thought impossible.

Описание: Full of sharp observations and well-chosen detail, this fast-moving account of Cook`s first voyage was published anonymously in 1771, within months of the expedition`s return. The author`s intelligent interpretations of his exotic environments, and fascination with social anthropology and language, make his anonymity all the more intriguing.
