TO THE READER.
THE Business of setling the Tariff between Holland and France has been so long in agitation, so generally talked of, and yet so little understood as to the essential Grounds thereof, that it has been thought a Work not un∣acceptable to the Publick, to give a clear View of it; and since the same can appear no where so well as in the distinct Treaty of Commerce and Na∣vigation, that has been some time since concluded between the said Nations, which has never yet been exposed in English, we have thought fit to publish the same in the full Extent of it, with the separate Article relating to the Imposition of fifty Pence per Tun upon Strangers, (about which the main of the Contest has been) whereby it will appear how Just and Equitable the Dutch Pretentions are, and that it's a meer Sham for their Opponents to say, They understood not what they did, when they a∣greed to it; as it may be of some good use to our selves when we come to treat about Trade with that Nation, who, by what has followed in consequence to the ensuing Treaty, can never be bound too fast.
