Description

Explore a detailed historical account of 17th-century maritime administration with this scholarly work from Routledge. The book documents the extensive investigation conducted by William Culliford between 1682 and 1684. As a loyal officer in the King's customs service, Culliford traveled through southwest England and south Wales to evaluate the integrity and efficiency of customs establishments. This text follows his journey starting from Bristol and ending in Cornwall. The primary goal of his mission was to maximize the Crown's income from customs duties, which served as a major source of revenue at the time. Readers gain access to his reports on the various ports he inspected during this two-year undertaking. This volume serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of business, finance, and law, specifically regarding the evolution of accounting and tax collection in the late 1600s.
