Synopsis
A sharp, eighteen-century critique of a government plan to raise taxes through an excise scheme, and the public worry it sparks. This compact work examines the motives, methods, and potential effects of a proposed tax reform, presenting a spirited argument for vigilance and constitutional restraint.
Written as a direct response to pamphleteering around the excise plan, it traces the scheme from its early steps to its possible consequences for commerce, daily life, and political liberty. The text weighs public opinion, government strategy, and the balance between revenue needs and individual rights, offering a clear voice in a heated debate.
- Identifies two kinds of excise and how each would touch everyday life and business.
- Explores how proposed enforcement could reach into private homes and private life.
- Argues for caution against measures that could infringe on liberties or distort commerce.
- Links tax policy to broader questions about governance and popular consent.
Ideal for readers curious about 18th‑century political argument, public finance, and the history of taxation in Britain.
