The Laws and Policy of England, Relating to Trade (1765) is an 18th-century treatise by Sir William Mildmay — also known as the author of a prior work on the policing of France — that critically examines England’s commercial laws by weighing them against general principles of trade and the practices of other trading nations. The work takes a comparative approach, situating English trade law within a broader European context to assess its strengths and shortcomings.
