About the author
Great Britain. Board of Trade is a corporate author: the name used for publications issued by the British government's Board of Trade. Founded in the late 17th century, the Board became an important part of how Britain supervised trade, industry, and, for long stretches of its history, colonial administration.
Because this is an institution rather than a person, there is no personal life story behind the name. Books and reports credited this way were typically official documents, statistical works, inquiries, and journals produced under the Board's authority, including material on shipping, manufacturing, tariffs, labor, and international commerce.
For readers, that means works by Great Britain. Board of Trade are usually valuable as primary sources: they reflect how the British state gathered information and explained economic policy in their own time.
