A history of commerce

by Clive Day

(a) Exports.

(b) Imports.

(c) Shipping.

(d) Attitude of the king.

(e) Institution of the Staple.

[Sufficient material on all these points may be found in Cunningham, Growth, and if the student is able to use a book like that he will get far more benefit than in abstracting the summaries (often inaccurate or misleading) in the smaller manuals.]

BIBLIOGRAPHY

For general bibliography consult Gross, Sources, and Palgrave’s Dictionary.

General accounts will be found in Encyc. Brit., article Hanseatic League, and in Zimmern, **Hansa Towns, a book which can be strongly recommended. It includes a map and illustrations, but has no bibliography.

For descriptions of English commerce in this period see Cunningham, ** Growth, or the articles in Traill’s Social England. Briefer accounts are, of course, to be sought in manuals already mentioned.
