51 Reels.

Description

This collection includes ledger sheets of goods imported and exported at London and the outports, as well as the Commonwealth countries abroad.

At the beginning of the film for each year, an index lists countries alphabetically with ledger sheet numbers for imports and exports. Some additional listings at the end of each year's film show total imports and exports along with duties paid. The records are filmed in chronological order.

The ledgers distinguish between goods of English and foreign manufacture and between those carrled in English and foreign ships.

Tables indicate the amounts of foreign gold, silver coin and bullion exported each year from Britain.
