This work focuses on the economic decline of England, particularly emphasizing the crucial textile trade and the adverse effects of smuggling and poor customs enforcement on the nation’s prosperity. It presents the author's perspective on how England's wool and cloth industries can be revitalized to benefit the economy and society as a whole. The opening of the essay introduces readers to Trevers' heartfelt dedication to the revitalization of England's trade, particularly the clothing industry, which was facing significant decline due to various factors, including smuggling and the unfaithfulness of customs officers. He outlines the losses incurred by the nation due to the exportation of wool and the importation of foreign goods, while also lamenting the resulting poverty among the populace. Trevers calls for the enforcement of existing laws and the establishment of new committees to address these issues, aiming to restore the country's former economic glory and ensure the well-being of its citizens.
