Description

Thomas Grindle's historical essay on the 1765 Revestment, reprinted from The Isle of Man Times. Argues the Revestment resulted from deliberate English imperial policy rather than smuggling concerns, and traces Manx trade negotiations 1709-1714 with detailed analysis of Acts of Tynwald. Contends the English Government refused reasonable trade concessions, forcing the Manx to resume smuggling and ultimately lose independence.
