Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witnessing the shift from the medieval world based on trade with Europe's Atlantic coast to a new system encompassing the American colonies, the seventeenth century was a pivotal period in Bristol's commercial history. It has, however, received relatively little attention from modern historians. What work has been done has either focused on qualitative sources, or merely sampled the statistical evidence. This thesis, therefore, represents the first in-depth statistical study of Bristol's seventeenth-century trade. Based on a detailed examination of the surviving Port Books and Wharfage Books, it challenges many previous views. The first half of the thesis examines Bristol's trade in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, showing that, rather than being a 'dark epoch', these years were a time of commercial prosperity for Bristol. Trade with the city's existing markets is shown to have expanded significantly, as a result of both a diverse supply of exports and consumer demand for a range of imported wares. The later chapters provide the first detailed account of the emergence of Bristol's American trades. This shows that they developed faster and earlier than has previously been thought, questioning the assumption that Bristol's commercial success in the Americas trade depended on the slave trade. The principal driving force of the seventeenth-century expansion is shown to have been the growing colonial population's demand for English manufactures, and the rising domestic appetite for ever-Cheaper supplies of sugar and tobacco. Finally, Bristol's involvement in other branches of trade in the latter-seventeenth century is examined. This chapter charts the mixed fortunes of the city's traditional trades, as well as the reluctance of Bristol's merchants to exploit opportunities beyond the Atlantic.

This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1969, this book discusses the growth of foreign trade between 1600 and 1775 which brought about a commercial revolution in England. English merchants developed the exchange of manufactured goods for primary products such as tobacco, sugar, cotton and silk. A notable feature of these years was the American orientation of English overseas trade. This expansion of commerce made a decisive contribution to national economic growth. Its implications for the economy as a whole and the process of industrialization are reviewed at length in the substantial introduction.

Book excerpt: Analyses data from the Bristol Port Books to rewrite the history of trade in Bristol, including the city's early involvement with the slave trade. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were a transformative period for global commerce, with the principal focus of England's trade shifting away from trade with Europe, primarily in woollen cloth, to a new Atlantic system, with trade in a diverse range of commodities. Based on the fantastically detailed Bristol Port Books, previously thought impenetrable, and using new computer technology to analyse the vast amount of data, this book provides the first long duration history of a major Atlantic port in this period. It rewrites the history of Bristol's trade, overturning much established thinking, for example showing that trade flourished in the late Tudor and early Stuart period, demonstrating that Bristol was involved in the slave trade much earlier than was previously thought and charting the growth of commerce with North America and the Caribbean from nothing to three quarters of Bristol's imports in the short period from the 1630s to the 1650s. Overall, the book represents a major contribution to understanding how the Atlantic economy worked and how it developed in this crucial period.
