Notes:

Deals with the impact of overseas trade on the metropolitan economy in three contrasting periods: late 15th to 16th century - concentration on exports of woollen cloth especially by Company of Merchant Adventurers; from mid 16th to mid 17th century - diversification and transactions with markets beyond Europe; from mid 17th century focus on re-exports and extra European markets
