and manufactures from the restrictions heretofore mpos
cd upon them Concessions have repeatedly been made
in favor, in the revenue laws Of Great Britain with
the hope that they would be recprocated by our &C.

from time to time by the government of Great Britain

placed upon all the products and manufactures OF Grea
Britain, than had for time previously existed NOT
