Chapter One, by way of promoting a theme, proposes that merchant networks are part of the timelessness of human life, subject of course to the influences of changing times, historical events, new technology and ideas and the changing views of historians.
The major focus however is on "Cyprus, Lusignan, sugar and slavery: a 'royal' network".
That is, the chapter treats more-economic issues that took place in a war setting - The Crusades - before 1200AD.
This book will be heavily cited and laden with footnotes. Below is a listing of the kinds of books consulted, though the authors have by no means read all titles listed. The list is merely an advice on places "in the world of print media" where historians might start to work for the general period 1688-1888, the period which is the main focus of the book.

A Guide to Updated Files - 2010 E-mail the Webmaster: Dan Byrnes In early 2006, Dan Byrnes and Ken Cozens formed a team to manage this website and co-write a book on economic history. The book's title is still not decided, but the book will be concerned with tensions between mainstream history, maritime, economic, social and cultural history, popular views held on history old and new in a variety of countries vis-a-vis economic history, and some aspects of modern popular culture in the Western World. The book will explore many facets of such interests - and the book draft to date possibly explores perhaps too many facets. This webpage - preamble.htm - is not an introduction to the actual book, it is a preamble as an introduction to the curiosities that the book will expolore. This table will present a guide to files drawn from the book that we happen to upload to the Internet. (If filenames are not yet hyperlinked, they are not yet available, still unfinished as part of the book project.) All material on this website is Copyright 2006-2010 by Dan Byrnes and Ken Cozens.

On problems with tobacco trade - on lack of info on London tobacco trading, Cf Jacob M. Price The Economic Growth of the Chesapeake and the European Market, 1697-1775, The Journal of Economic History, Vol. XXIV, No. 4, 1964., pp. 496-516 [note also that nearby that issue, maybe 1963 or 1965 is an article on French merchants at Lyon which maybe I should read. on p. 499, Note 3, Price writes, "It is virtually impossible to compile a good, long term series of London tobacco prices." ... p. 499, since 1670 the Chesapeake tobacco to London was re-exported to markets the Virginians knew little about. There were 100 million pounds shipped annually to Britain in 1771-1775, about 85 per cent of which was re-exported. and p. 502, Note 5, Price cites papers on French Farmers-General, noting they tened to neglect "commercial and political-personal factors".
