Delacourt into his * Memoirs of John da Witt* (p. 24, Eng. trans.), which, haying been erroneously ascribed to that states- man (see chapter on l^IisoeUaneous Works), acquired an influence and authority to which they were not really eutitled. But, though yastly exaggerated, the Dutch herring fishery far exceeded that of any other country ; and for this superiority the Hollanders were indebted to the skill which they had early acquired in the business ^ to the economy with which all their operat...ions were conducted, which made Andrew Yarranton say that ' we fish intolerably dear and the Dutch exceeding cheap* (ubi supra, p. 131) ; and to the easy access afibrded by the great rivers that traverse their country to the interior of Europe, where the herrings were principally disposed o£ The English had no similar advantages on their side ; and the use of fish has never been popular among the bulk of our people. Hence, though pamphlet after pamphlet was written, holding out the example of the Dutch, and calling upon the public to patronize the fishery as the surest means of increasing the national wealth j though company after company was formed for its encouragement; and though immense sums were lavished upon bounties for its encouragement, which at one time rose to the all but incredible amount of £159 7s.
