A true state of the present difference between the Royal African company, and the separate traders: shewing the irregularities and impositions of the joint-stock managers; the uselessness of their forts; the expence they are at in the maintenance of the same; the charge of supporting them in a condition of defence; the vast sums they have receiv'd by the ten per cent. duty in order thereunto, and what has been misapply'd to their own private uses; the advantages and reasonableness of an open trade to Africa; and, lastly, the danger of an exclusive trade, not only to the traders of South and North Britain, but to our American plantations.
