[Footnote 38: See the xxvth and xxxth dissertations of the
Antiquitates Medii Aevi of Muratori. From Anderson's
History of Commerce, I understand that the Venetians did not
trade to England before the year 1323. The most flourishing
state of their wealth and commerce, in the beginning of the
xvth century, is agreeably described by the Abbe Dubos,
(Hist. de la Ligue de Cambray, tom. ii. p. 443 - 480.)]
