The Golden Fleece Pamphlet on Wool Trade
A defender praises the Golden Fleece pamphlet for proposing a Land Register and register ships to protect British wool trade. The writer argues a small duty on wool would boost employment, limit foreign control, and expand production, while warning France will oppose such measures and urging Parliament to back the plan. The piece cites Count de Boullanvilliers and notes France’s reliance on British and Irish wool.
