The Present State Of The Nation: Particularly With Respect To Its Trade, Finances, Etc., Addressed To The King And Both Houses Of Parliament (1769)

The Present State of the Nation is a book written by William Knox in 1769. It is an analysis of the current state of the British nation, with a focus on its trade and finances. The book is addressed to the King and both Houses of Parliament, and it provides a comprehensive overview of the economic situation in Britain at the time. Knox discusses the country's trade relationships with other nations, its levels of debt, and the state of its currency. He also offers suggestions for how the government might address these issues and improve the nation's economic prospects. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the economic challenges facing Britain in the late 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
