Considerations on the Embargo of Provisions in Ireland and England
A political treatise argues the embargo on victuals may be driven by Contractors seeking profit, tracing motives to Ireland and England. It questions private influence, prerogative power, and the risk of corruption, offering a critique of policy timing, legality, and economic impact on landholders and trade. It references Irish cattle exports and the October to December slaughter season, plus parallel concerns about English plans.
