Note A2-1-8 — Chapter III

The English jealousy of Holland is represented especially by Sir W. Raleigh (?), Observations touching Trade and Commerce with the Hollander and other nations, 1603, Works, III, 31 ff.; Sir J. Child, A new Discourse of Trade (1690), and Sir W. Temple, Observations upon the U. Provinces (1672). Compare Roscher, Z. Gesch. der englischen V. W. Lehre, p. 31 ff., 125 ff. The English jealousy of France: Sam. Fortrey, England's Interest and Improvement (1663). R. Coke, A Treatise, wherein is demonstrated that the Church and State of England are in equal Danger with its Trade (1671), and the anonymous, Britannia languens (1680). Per contra, especially the work: England's Greatest Happiness, wherein it is demonstrated that a great Part of our Complaints is causeless (1677). Here we find chapters with the title: To export Money our great Advantage; the French Trade a profitable Trade; Multitudes of Traders a great Advantage. Petty gave the best solution to the question in dispute, in his posthumous Political Arithmetic concerning the Value of Lands, etc. Hörnigk would enlist his service in the cause of the jealousy against France, immediately after the disgraceful defeats which Germany in 1680 ff. suffered in the midst of peace, by Louis XIV. Concerning smaller works of the same period and in the same direction, see Roscher's Gesch., I, 299 seq.
