Perhaps you should try some spelling variations:
2 commerce » 12 commerce, _ commerce, a commerce
1720 early » 1727 early, 1820 early, 1770 early
2f early » 24 early, 22 early, 23 early
21 early » 2.1 early, 1 early, 11 early
20 early » 10 early, 1820 early
f early » ef early, sf early, 7 early

Try widening your search to All Fields.

You may be able to get more results by adjusting your search query.

• If you are trying to use Boolean operators, they must be ALL CAPS: %great britain %2 commerce %((((((2f early) OR (21 early))) OR (f early))) OR (((20 early) OR (1720 early)))) works to 1800%22.
• The words AND, OR and NOT may confuse the search; try adding quotes: "%great britain %2 commerce %((((((2f early) OR (21 early))) or (f early))) or (((20 early) or (1720 early)))) works to 1800%22".
• Adding a wildcard symbol may retrieve word variants: %great britain %2 commerce %((((((2f early) OR (21 early))) or (f early))) or (((20 early) or (1720 early)))) works to 1800%22*.
