Name
The Story of the Revestment: A Sketch of Manx History in the 18th Century
Description
Thomas Grindle's comprehensive historical narrative examining the 1765 Revestment of the Isle of Man to the British Crown. Grindle argues that the Revestment resulted from deliberate English imperial policy rather than smuggling alone, tracing the commercial negotiations of 1710–1714, the suspension of anti-smuggling measures, and the subsequent fifty-year period of uncontrolled trade that provided the pretext for sovereignty acquisition. The work emphasizes the Manx Government's good-faith efforts to comply with English customs demands and the English Government's rejection of reciprocal free-trade agreements.
