a_o account_n of_o a_o dangerous_a combination_n and_o monopoly_n upon_o the_o collier-trade_n in_o a_o letter_n from_o the_o country_n sir_n i_o be_o infinite_o oblige_v to_o you_o for_o the_o welcome_a notice_n you_o give_v i_o of_o the_o joyful_a hope_n and_o wish_n that_o appear_v in_o most_o people_n face_n and_o conversation_n that_o the_o ensue_a parliament_n will_v move_v the_o king_n to_o enter_v into_o treaty_n and_o alliance_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o europe_n against_o the_o formidable_a conjunction_n of_o france_n and_o spain_n the_o best_a return_n i_o can_v make_v you_o for_o the_o transport_v news_n be_v a_o undoubtable_a assurance_n that_o we_o in_o the_o country_n keep_v pace_n with_o you_o in_o the_o town_n and_o be_v not_o behind_o you_o either_o in_o the_o zeal_n nor_o the_o generality_n of_o our_o disposition_n and_o sentiment_n but_o since_o we_o be_v enter_v into_o the_o theme_n of_o foreign_a alliance_n i_o beg_v leave_n to_o give_v you_o some_o account_n of_o a_o domestic_a one_o upon_o the_o collier-trade_n from_o which_o worse_a consequence_n be_v to_o be_v fear_v to_o the_o navigation_n and_o all_o that_o depend_v upon_o it_o and_o perhaps_o a_o great_a imposition_n upon_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o the_o consumption_n of_o coal_n in_o general_n and_o the_o manufacture_n depend_v upon_o the_o use_n of_o coal_n than_o our_o foreign_a alliance_n will_v stand_v the_o nation_n in_o to_o second_v they_o and_o make_v they_o good_a the_o business_n be_v plain_o thus_o there_o be_v a_o dangerous_a combination_n and_o monopoly_n set_v on_o foot_n upon_o the_o collier-trade_n which_o must_v lay_v one_o half_a of_o our_o ship_n by_o the_o wall_n and_o tax_v the_o consumption_n of_o coal_n at_o home_o and_o abroad_o at_o the_o discretion_n of_o mr._n arthur_n shallett_n who_o be_v the_o unlucky_a author_n of_o a_o more_o pernicious_a project_n than_o the_o invention_n of_o our_o great_a enemy_n can_v have_v find_v out_o against_o we_o which_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n this_o project_n mr._n shallett_n after_o much_o toil_n and_o labour_n at_o last_o have_v bring_v the_o majority_n of_o the_o coal-owner_n in_o the_o north_n to_o give_v unto_o this_o project_n he_o have_v have_v in_o his_o head_n as_o be_v know_v to_o all_o that_o know_v he_o for_o many_o year_n the_o general_a article_n be_v agree_v to_o in_o november_n last_o betwixt_o he_o and_o so_o many_o of_o the_o coal-owner_n in_o the_o north_n as_o be_v then_o in_o town_n and_o these_o article_n have_v be_v since_o extend_v into_o write_n and_o be_v sign_v and_o seal_v by_o the_o party_n on_o one_o side_n and_o tother_o which_o in_o substance_n be_v thus_o 1._o the_o coal-owner_n on_o the_o one_o side_n oblige_v themselves_o to_o work_n nor_o vend_n no_o great_a quantity_n of_o coal_n than_o thirteen_o thousand_o tenn_n of_o coal_n which_o be_v but_o 130000_o cauldron_n of_o coal_n newcastle_n measure_n and_o two_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o thousand_o cauldron_n london_n measure_n instead_o of_o twenty_o three_o thousand_o tenn_n of_o coal_n which_o be_v 230000_o cauldron_n of_o coal_n newcastle_n measure_n and_o 460000_o cauldron_n london_n measure_n rockon_v at_o double_a goal_n as_o by_o this_o project_n the_o coal-owner_n agree_v to_o over-load_n their_o keel_n and_o have_v the_o ship_n make_v out_o at_o london_n which_o have_v be_v the_o medium_fw-la of_o the_o vend_n of_o coal_n since_o the_o war_n from_o the_o river_n tine_n coast-way_n and_o over_o sea_n and_o can_v never_o be_v less_o unless_o this_o project_n take_v effect_n 2._o these_o coal-owner_n agree_v to_o sell_v or_o dispose_v of_o this_o quantity_n of_o coal_n to_o no_o man_n or_o company_n of_o man_n but_o mr._n shallett_n or_o his_o order_n on_o the_o other_o part_n mr._n shallett_n agree_v to_o take_v the_o foresay_a thirteen_o thousand_o tenn_n of_o coal_n and_o no_o less_o from_o the_o say_a coal-owner_n which_o be_v one_o three_o less_o than_o the_o foresay_a medium_fw-la of_o the_o vend_n or_o export_n from_o the_o river_n tine_n but_o he_o oblige_v himself_o to_o pay_v for_o every_o cauldron_n of_o the_o say_v 13000_o tenn_n no_o less_o than_o ten_o shilling_n and_o six_o penny_n per_fw-la cauldron_n and_o for_o some_o eleven_o shilling_n per_fw-la cauldron_n which_o be_v one_o four_o part_n more_o than_o the_o best_a coal_n in_o the_o river_n tine_n have_v be_v sell_v for_o for_o many_o year_n and_o a_o five_o part_n more_o than_o the_o best_a colliery_n can_v afford_v to_o sell_v for_o at_o reasonable_a profit_n this_o be_v the_o main_a business_n of_o the_o combination_n and_o that_o which_o chief_o concern_v the_o public_a i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o the_o detail_n of_o the_o private_a part_n of_o it_o which_o contain_v the_o several_a quota_n of_o the_o coal-owner_n which_o be_v to_o be_v deliver_v by_o they_o and_o receive_v by_o mr._n shallett_n nor_o shall_v i_o trouble_v you_o with_o the_o method_n agree_v to_o deliver_v they_o at_o newcastle_n and_o to_o vend_fw-mi they_o at_o london_n which_o will_v take_v almost_o a_o volume_n to_o explain_v to_o you_o but_o in_o genetal_n i_o assure_v you_o my_o friend_n by_o this_o combination_n the_o coal-owner_n will_v receive_v a_o five_o more_o profit_n than_o reasonable_o aught_o to_o be_v expect_v and_o mr._n shalett_n be_v possess_v of_o all_o or_o most_o of_o the_o coal_n export_v from_o the_o river_n tine_n can_v set_v what_o price_n upon_o the_o coal_n at_o london_n be_v please_v and_o where_o the_o thing_n will_v end_v no_o body_n know_v for_o every_o day_n they_o may_v advance_v the_o price_n of_o coal_n upon_o we_o and_o thereby_o equal_a their_o colliery_n in_o the_o north_n to_o the_o mine_n of_o peru_n and_o mexico_n or_o the_o trade_n round_o the_o cape_n of_o good_a hope_n and_o hereafter_o the_o collier-trade_n shall_v be_v christen_v the_o black-indy_n and_o mr._n shallett_n project_n upon_o it_o shall_v be_v enlarge_v into_o company_n upon_o joint-stock_n the_o first_o sight_n of_o this_o soul_n business_n my_o friend_n no_o doubt_n will_v raise_v both_o horror_n and_o contempt_n but_o i_o assure_v you_o the_o thing_n be_v practicable_a upon_o the_o forementioned_a measure_n and_o will_v take_v effect_n the_o person_n concern_v in_o it_o be_v man_n of_o conduct_n and_o interest_n and_o have_v wit_n and_o address_v to_o colour_n countenance_n and_o support_v most_o thing_n they_o undertake_v and_o therefore_o i_o beg_v leave_n to_o give_v you_o

of_o the_o undertaker_n and_o in_o do_v of_o this_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o give_v you_o some_o further_a prospect_n of_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o fatal_a combination_n but_o before_o i_o begin_v to_o propose_v and_o answer_v what_o the_o combinator_n may_v say_v for_o themselves_o i_o desire_v to_o discover_v unto_o you_o the_o spring_n that_o give_v life_n to_o this_o combination_n and_o the_o engine_n that_o set_v it_o first_o in_o motion_n and_o must_v keep_v it_o still_o a_o go_v which_o be_v in_o plain_a english_a the_o king_n and_o the_o people_n money_n

betwixt_o the_o commissioner_n of_o excise_n and_o mr._n shallett_n be_v return_v from_o the_o north_n by_o mr._n shallett_n for_o 8_o s._n in_o the_o 100_o l._n into_o the_o treasury_n of_o excise_n in_o broad-street_n london_n this_o 8_o s._n in_o the_o 100_o l._n be_v just_o 800_o l._n clear_a gain_n to_o mr._n shallett_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la beside_o the_o unspeakable_a benefit_n that_o it_o have_v be_v and_o continue_v to_o be_v to_o he_o in_o his_o trade_n and_o credit_n but_o mr._n shallett_n not_o content_a with_o so_o profitable_a and_o convenient_a a_o gain_n be_v resolve_v to_o
