About This Book

This work presents a collection of documents concerning an act passed by the Assembly of New York aimed at regulating the Indian trade and prohibiting the sale of Indian goods to the French in Canada. It includes a petition from London merchants expressing concerns that the act, intended to protect British trade interests, has instead harmed them by restricting commerce with both the French and various Indian nations. The merchants argue that the act has led to increased prices and diminished trade opportunities, ultimately benefiting the French. The documents also reflect the ongoing tensions between British and French colonial interests in North America.
