A. D. 1780. 



The foreign trade in corn is by fome thought the moft important of any, as producing great 

 funis, which are acquired wholely from the fertiUty of the earth and the labour of the people ; 

 while others confidcr any attempts to extend it beyond the natural limits, which are regulated by; 

 the abundance ot one country and the deficiency of another, as prejudicial to the general iutereftsi 

 of both the exporting and importing countries. As it is at any rate an objeel of confiderablel! 

 importance, and that in more than one point of view, I fhall here exhibit the progrefs of this 

 very precarious trade in tables of the quantities of grain exported and imported fincc the com- 

 mencement of the corn regifter, which are taken from accounts made up in the cullom-houfei 

 by order of parliament.
