In a letter to the Right Honourable ************ Every one knows, that our African Company is now in a manner dissolved to the great joy both of the Dutch and French; and it behoves us, if we are not infatuated, to put it speedily on a better foot than formerly, and not to let such an important branch of our commerce be lop'd off, to the enriching our neighbours, and our own scandal- -The Negroe-trade alone is of a most pradigious consequence, and capable to render our African Company the most flourishing of any in the kingdom; and it must be confessed, that it is the most beneficial to this island, of all the companies that ever were formed by our merchants, &c. -A proposal humbling Spain, &c. 1742
