• <<The>> complete English tradesman : In familiar letters: directing him in the several parts and progressions of trade. Vol. II. In two parts. Part I. Directed chiefly to the more-experienc'd tradesmen; with cautions and advices to them after they are thriven, and suppos'd to be grown rich, viz. 1. Against running out of their business into needless projects and dangerous adventures, no tradesman being above disaster. 2. Against oppressing one another by engrossing, underselling, combinations in trade, &c. 3. Advices, that when he leaves off his business, he should part friends with the world; the great advantages of it, with a word of the scandalous character of a purse-proud tradesman. 4. Against being litigious and vexatious, and apt to go to law for trisles; with some reasons why tradesmens differences should, if possible, be all ended by arbitration. Part II. Being useful generals in trade, describing the principles and foundation of the home trade of Great Britain; with large tables of our manufactures, calculations of the product, shipping, carriage of goods by land, importation from abroad, consumption at home, &c. by all which the infinite number of our tradesmen are employ'd, and the general wealth of the nation rais'd and increas'd.
