Exéning and Merchants in Dark Trade Reflections
A long letter to a merchant discusses national profit and loss in trade, condemns coercive measures and cruelty abroad, and critiques British rulers for endorsing brutal acts. It recounts a Dutch trial of Italian murderers, condemns Italian notions of morality, and links these to current colonial policies and Atlantic unrest. The piece also includes commentary on slave crimes, racial tensions, and a critical view of British governance in the American colonies.
