Excerpt from The Diplomatic Correspondence of the Right Hon. Richard Hill, (L. L. D., F. R. S., &C., , &C., , ), Vol. 2: Envoy Extraordinary From the Court of St. James to the Duke of Savoy, in the Reign of Queen Anne, From July 1703, to May 1706I found the soldiers and subjects here all clothed with French cloth, which comes very easily from Lyons hither. I found this commerce was also very much encouraged by the customs and duties which have been always higher upon the English than upon the French manufactures. His Royal Highness has now done us justice, against the malice, the inclination, or the interest, of some people, and by making a new tariff, or book of rates, has made it worth while to our English merchants to send English cloth hither, which, if well pursued, would help to destroy all the woollen fabrics in Languedoc.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
