Excerpt from Local Taxation and Finance
The recent wide extension of popular local govern mental institutions in Great Britain induces me to hope that a new and comprehensive work on Local Taxation and Finance may be found especially use ful at the present time. No such work has appeared since the publication of Mr. R. H. Inglis Palgrave's essay in 1871, notwithstanding that very consider able and important developments of local fiscal and financial organisation have received legislative sanction in the interval. The excellent work done by the Local Government Board during the last twenty, years in gathering, compiling, and publish ing the English statistics relating to this subject has, moreover, brought some degree of order out of chaos, and has rendered possible a, much more exact exposition and discussion of the details of the system than was formerly attainable.
