A letter to an honourable member of the House of Commons. Briefly shewing, The Wealth, Power and Strength, that the Hollanders and other Nations gain, by Fishing on the Coasts and Seas of Great Britain. And how advantagious it would be to our own Nation, if that Trade were well-establish'd in England. Abstracted out of the Writings of Sir John Burroughs, Sir Walter Raleigh, and some other Great Authors, who have treated on that Subject. Together with Some Account what Encouragements have been given to Persons, who have attempted to set it up in England, and of the Proceedings that have been made for establishing the same by the present Company of The Royal Fishery.
