granted. And prove it they never can, 'till they shall have first demonstrated, that the _Americans_ will no longer adhere to their own Interest, when they shall be disunited from us. A difficult Task this! In regard to which, they will find all the World to be Unbelievers. Indeed I have already so effectually silenced this Plea in my Fourth Tract from Page 203 to Page 220, [2d Edit. printed for RIVINGTON, &c.] that I hope I may be excused from repeating the same Things. And as the Arguments there urged have never been attempted to be answered, notwithstanding so much Good-Will to do it, and that my Opponents most certainly would do it, if they could, the natural Conclusion is, _that they are_ UNANSWERABLE. Therefore I now enter upon the Subject itself; and as the Trade to _Holland_ and _Germany_ (and _more particularly to_ Hanover) hath been frequently represented as being very inconsiderable, and of small Importance; I have for this very Reason, selected this Trade from others, to make it the Subject of our Comparison with the Trade to all the revolted Provinces of _North-America_. An Account of the Value of the Exports from _England_ to _Germany_ and _Holland_; and also to those _North-American_ Provinces, which are now under the Dominion of the Congress, for nine Years successively, viz. from _Christmas_ 1763 to _Christmas_ 1772, distinguishing each Country, and each Year. From Christmas 1763 | to Christmas 1764. | 1765. | -------------------------+-------------------+ _Value of Exports._ |_Value of Exports._| -------------------------+-------------------+ L. s. d. | L. s. d. | Germany 2,264,315 3 9 | 1,869,465 18 8 | Holland 2,040,467 9 9 | 2,026,772 16 11 | The REVOLTED PROVINCES of _North-America_.
