Statement in behalf of the Scotch distillers making spirits for the home-consumption in Scotland.
Haddington : James Miller, printer,
1824.
Refers to the 1788 Licensing Act which limited exports of spirits from Scotland to England only to distilleries run in Scotland 'under the English system' where spirits were made exclusively for exportation. The author defends the Scotch whisky industry, complaining that Irish distillieries do not have the same export restrictions and pointing out that liquor smuggling was rife in England.
