"(The decree) . . . abolished the monopoly of Cadiz but reaffirmed the monopoly of Spain; it opened Spanish America to all Spaniards but closed it more firmly to the rest of the world. The colonies were given more avenues into the Spanish market but denied access to the world market . . . (It) was designed to make the colonial monopoly more effective . . . If trade followed the flag, the tax collector was close behind the trader" (John Lynch, Bourbon Spain 1700-1808, p. 352-3). Sabin 68890. Palau 255843.
