Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Revenue and the Expenditure of the United Kingdom The following work had its origin in the anxious desire of the author to obtain a seat in the House of Commons, for which he unsuccessfully struggled under the most painful difficulties and deprivations. The honour was not sought from motives of vanity or ambition, but with the view of using his exertions where they would be most efficient, and to stay the destroying system of taxation, which he long since foretold must undermine, and finally destroy, all the institutions of the kingdom. Neither delight nor satisfaction is felt by him in perceiving that these predictions are daily and hourly hastening to their fulfilment. To perform the duties of a legislator, it is not sufficient to be acquainted with the intrigues of party, expert in the science of parliamentary tactics, or prompt and cunning in debate. These attainments will not obtain the revival of the prosperity of the United kingdom, without an accurate knowledge of the real cause of its decline. The author, therefore,: voted himself to the study of our fiscal institutions, in order to acquire a knowledge of our finances, not through a mass of figures dovetailed at Whitehall, but from writers of other days, and from careful researches through the Statute Book. The result of his labours he now submits to the serious consideration of the people. This volume will, he hopes, afford some useful information, and tend to dispel mystification; while he has the vanity to think that he has produced a work such as had no previous existence, namely, a useful manual for the guidance of every uninitiated, if not every experienced Member of Parliament, in questions relating to the revenue and expenditure of the country.
