Excerpt from On the Taxes on Knowledge: From the Westminster Review, No; XXIX, for July 1, 1831 Art. XVII. - The Moral and Political evils of the Taxes on Knowledge, expounded in the Speeches delivered at the City of London Literary and Scientific Institution, on the subject of a Petition to Parliament against the continuance of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers, the Duties on Advertisements, and on Printing-paper. Effingham Wilson. 1831. 2. - Letter to a Minister of State, respecting the Taxes on Knowledge. 1831. 3. The Real Incendiaries and Promoters of Crime. (From the Examiner of February 20.) 1881. In what country could any government have enforced a law, by which it was enacted, "that no man shall be permitted to relate any thing to his neighbour, for the purpose of instructing or amusing him; informing him of the laws which he is bound to obey, and of the conduct of the agents by whom those laws are made, unless he, the relator, give heavy securities first, that he will answer for any libels he may utter; that is to say, (according to the best definition of libel, from numerous cases thereon decided), for, anything he may utter, which any body, at any time may be pleased to dislike for any reason, and for anything he may utter, which may tend to bring any agent into hatred and contempt, how untrustworthy, how consummate a scoundrel soever such agent may be. And next, that he, the relator, also give securities that he will for our use, exact from the person informed, a tax for every act of information?"
