ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a letter from a merchant in London to his nephew in North America. In the letter, the violation of Charters and several grievances are discussed. The merchant infers that ever since the Discovery of America, it has been the system of every European Power, which had Colonies in that part of the World, to confine (as far as Laws can confine) the trade of the Colonies to the Mother Country, and to exclude all others, under the Penalty of Confiscation, &c. from partaking in it. Thus, the trade of the Spanish Colonies is confined by Law to Old Spain.
