Abstract:
There are few branches of political economy more interesting
in themselves, or of more importance at the present time,
than the subject of taxation, and yet there is scarcely any on
which greater errors are prevalent.
I shall, in the first instance, direct your attention to some of
those errors, involving general principles; which,in fact, arise from
a wrong way of looking at the subject, and which are, consequently, sources at an infinite number of minor errors in the
cases where these mistaken principles come to be applied.
