Synopsis

A Commercial Dictionary: Containing The Present State Of Mercantile Law, Practice And Custom by Joshua Montefiore is a late 18th- to early 19th-century reference work that compiles mercantile law, practice, and regulatory custom for Britain and Ireland. It catalogues excise and related trade regulation with detailed provisions on the production, storage, and sale of commodities (soap, spirits, wines, tobacco, candles, glass, and more), outlining duties, licensing or permits, inspection rights, required records, and a broad array of penalties for noncompliance. The volume covers enforcement powers of excise officers, entry and seizure procedures, and the use of permits, bonds, and debentures, including consequences for forged documents. Export and import rules, including duties, draw-backs, and penalties for illicit shipment, are treated alongside redress mechanisms, stock calculations, and appeals. It also addresses probate, executors, and estates, and expands into commerce terms, factoring, and fair, with geographic and topical entries on ports and imperial trade. The tone is regulatory, practitioner?oriented, and heavily indexed to statutes and illustrative examples, making it a foundational reference for British and Irish mercantile law and trade practice of the period.
