Painting by George Webster of the Old Portsmouth Harbour

This volume contains three comprehensive source commentaries written by the historians Christopher J. French, Robert Craig, and David Richardson, and edited by Walter Edward Minchinton, former Professor of Economic History at the University of Exeter. Penned during the 1970s and 1980s for the British Association for American Studies, the essays supply vital contextual information, outlining the nature and historical significance of the documentation contained in the collection. Indeed, each essay explores and reflects upon the three different TNA archive references: Customs 3, Customs 17, and ADM 7.
