Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of British Commerce, From the Earliest Times, Vol. 2 of 3: Reprinted From the Pictorial History of England; With Corrections, Additions, and a Continuation to the Present Day Bremen, and Embden, to which the Dutch sent, of her rings and other fish, to the annual value of nor any up the Rhine to Germany, the people of which bought, every year, worth of herrings and other fish fiom the Dutch; nor any up the Meuse to Maestricht, Liege, &c., to which places the Dutch sold herrings every year to the value of nor an to Guelderland, Flanders, and up the Scheldt, all over the dominions of the Archduke of Austria, in which direction the Dutch sent annually worth; and not 20001. Worth to France, which took worth from the Dutch. In short, while, according to this account, the trade of the Dutch in fish brought them in annually not much under 2,000,000l, the English could hardly be said to have any trade in that article at all, except only, Raleigh omits to notice, to the countries washed by the Mediterranean, - the great Catholic and fish-eating countries of Spain and Italy; but thither, also, the Dutch, he tells us, sent large quantities, although he does not specify to what exact amount.
