Written in opposition to a proposal by William Pitt to relax some navigation laws in favor of the United States, this is a highly detailed comparison of American and British imports and exports from 1700-1783 with a focus on the years 1773 and 1783. According to Howes, it was highly influential in shaping England's trade policy in ways which proved "detrimental to American commerce and shipping interests" and hastened the formation of a federal response "to retaliate against British maritime might."
