A letter writ by Segdirboeg, in answer to five written by Mr. Samuel Webber, upon the decay of the woollen manufactories in Great Britain and Ireland: also to his scheme to prevent that iniquitious [sic] traffick for the future, by an Universal Registry. Dedicated to the Lord-Mayor, Court of Aldermen, and Common-Council of London. Wherein is discovered the design and ambitious views of the said Webber and his Accomplices; as appears by his eager solicitations for a Charter, more than for the National Interest. To which is prefix'd, An Abstract of the New Act made against the illicite Exportation of Hool; and a short and familiar Scheme of less Trouble, and more Gain and Safety for the King and Nations Good, without a Charter. Also Segdirboeg's Challenge.
