As trade tariffs were slashed and imperial commerce exploded in volume the Board of Customs was forced to adapt rapidly to unprecedented administrative logistical and legal challenges. Many of the orders in this volume are apparently unrecorded with no copies located on OCLC or Library Hub. unknown books
