Excerpt from The Autobiography of Capt. Zachary G. Lamson: 1797 to 1814 With Introduction Historical NotesIn studying commercial conditions at the beginning of the last century, it is neces sary for the student to remember what an important factor colonial trade was in the commerce of that day, and it is impossible for him to understand the intricacies of this trade unless he continually keeps in mind the fact that the colony and the mother country were really one. Granted this fact, there was no more reason why one country should claim the right to trade with the colony of another than to claim the right to share in the coasting trade of that coun try, which, as is well known, is reserved even to-day by the United States for its own vessels.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
