Considerations On The Necessity Of Lowering The Exorbitant Freight Of Ships is a book written by Anthony Brough in 1786. The book is a critical analysis of the high freight rates charged by ship owners during the time. Brough argues that the high freight rates are detrimental to the economy and that they should be lowered to promote trade and commerce. The book provides a detailed account of the factors that contribute to the high freight rates, including the high cost of insurance, the cost of labor, and the cost of ship maintenance. Brough also proposes several solutions to the problem, including the establishment of a national shipping company and the reduction of taxes on shipping. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of shipping and commerce in the late 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
