Burke's Speech on Conciliation with America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515074489)

The first Navigation Act required that colonial exports should be shipped to England in American or English vessels. This was followed by a long series of acts, regulating and restricting the American trade. Colonists were not allowed to exchange certain articles without paying duties thereon, and custom houses were established and officers appointed.
