This book presents a pioneering scheme proposed to the Board of Trade in the 18th century to prevent the illegal export of wool from England and Ireland to foreign countries. The author, a wool expert, provides a detailed plan that involves establishing warehouses for lodging and registering wool, implementing strict regulations for wool movement and accounting, and imposing penalties for violations. The scheme also includes provisions for lending money to farmers on their wool and establishing a fund supported by a duty on wool to cover expenses. The author argues that this comprehensive approach would effectively curb wool smuggling and preserve the English and Irish wool industry. The book offers valuable insights into the historical context of wool production and trade in these countries and highlights the importance of protecting domestic industries from illicit activities that undermine their competitiveness.
