* Reprint of the second corrected edition. Originally published in
1761, this is one of the first studies of the history of taxation
and the first history of English taxation. As the title suggests,
this book provides a history of taxation from the Domesday Book to
1778. The various taxing acts are summarized and, after the reign of
William III, are divided into the categories of customs, excise and
inland duties. It is more than a bare chronicle, however. Going
beyond lists of titles and summaries of the various taxing acts, it
offers extensive commentary on their design and effect.
