Not illustrated. 1836 edition. Excerpt: ...to be a proper subject for taxation, then the consideration how to make the tax most productive, might naturally follow. In the instance before us, whether from chance or good guiding, the legislature seems to have hit upon a tax exactly coinciding with the best interests of the community, which clearly points out that any trade should be taxed, by which the food necessary to support labour, shall be converted into a substance which perishes in the consumption, and leaves no representative behind.
