Historians have long considered the ways in which the expansion of
English trade beyond Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries contributed to the growth of English overseas trade as a
whole, and to the coming of the Industrial Revolution. Their
concentration on trade between England and her own colonies has led
them, however, to neglect the importance of trade with the Spanish
and Portuguese colonies in the Americas. Dr Fishers examination of
Anglo-Portuguese trade between 1700 and 1770, and of the commercial
links between the English North American colonies and Portugal,
thus gives a wider perspective to our knowledge of the English
Commercial Revolution.
This study, based on a wide range of primary sources in England and
Portugal, analyses the impressive growth of English trade with
Portugal to 1760 and its subsequent decline in the 1760s,
particular attention being given to the role of the Brazilian
market and Brazilian gold-mining in these movements. The business
practice of the merchants engaged in the principal constituent
branches of the tradetextiles, foodstuffs, wines, and goldis made
clear and compared, while the characteristic instability of
international commerce is borne out in the examination of the
seasonal and yearly fluctuations which took place. On a more
general level, the concluding chapter explores the relationship
between the Portugal trade and the development of the English
economy during this period. This book was first published in
1971.
