The progrefs of the herring fifhery on the coafl: of Scotland has been 

 ah-eaJy deduced from the commencement of the bounty i'yftem to the 

 begmning of the American war, and afterwards brought down to the 

 termination of it. That the herring fifliery of Great Britaui continued 

 for the moft part in a flate of progrefllve augmentation, notwith (land- 

 ing the farther reduction of the tunnage bounty to twenty fliiUings in 

 the year 1787, appears from the following account of the veflels em- 

 ployed in it, and the herrings cured and exported, extraded, partly from 

 various accounts laid before the committee of the houfe of commons 

 appointed to inquire into the flate of the fifheries, who beftowed much 

 attention on that important objedl in this and the preceding year, and 

 partly from the books of the infpedor-general of imports and exports.
