réf. 23537A Londres, 1787. 24 pp. 8vo. Modern boards, original blind covers preserved. Kress B.1261; Stourm, p. 137; not in Goldsmiths. First edition. On French government finances and especially the taxes on the eve of the revolution. The author also sharply rejects the privileges of the clergy, the class that does not pay taxes, has accumulated an enormous wealth and is yet again exempted from paying taxes. The nobility also has priviliges but the author intelligently observes that the nobility is used to sacrifice and serving the state in various capacities, and, contrary to the clergy, it's position in the state is closely tied to the state itself, in other words, a collapse of the state will have immediate impact on the nobility and their status. It discusses the position of Calonne and the possibilities of reform and the various forms of opposition any reform will provoke from various groups.

1840réf. 20238Boston : Commonwealth of Massachusetts 1840. Broadside. Near Fine. Single folio sheet printed recto approximately 17.5 x 13.675 inches; one horizontal and three vertical folds; near fine. Broadside. An Act passed by both the Massachusetts House of Representatives and the Senate Governing the valuing of poll and property taxes in Massachusetts. The first section tasks Assessors to submit to the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office a "true and perfect list" of all male polls age sixteen and up together with "all rateable estate both real and personal lying within their Cities Towns and Districts" with a value of more than twenty dollars. A poll tax is a tax on a person. The Act also establishes an oath which each Assessor must agree to swear by along with penalties for either refusing the oath or not abiding by its terms. Section Seven of the Act details the correct type of form on which information for listing polls and property must be recorded. Even by today's standards this form might be considered comprehensive to the point of being intrusive. To give a few examples: "Number of ounces of plate of all kinds exceeding twenty dollars in value. Number of bushels of wheat. of rye. of Indian corn. of flax. of hemp. of hops. of tons of hay. of cow rights. of horses one year old and upwards. of mules and asses. of oxen. of steers and heifers. of sheep. of swine." and much much more. It was during this decade that Henry David Thoreau was jailed for not paying his taxes ostensibly on the grounds of his objection to slavery and the Mexican war. Signed in type by Robert C. Winthrop Speaker of the Massachusetts House; Daniel P. King President of the Senate and John P. Bigelow Secretary of the Commonwealth.

réf. 17155Londres (Paris?), 1751. 3 parts in 1 volume. (6), 112 pp.; 175 pp.; 171 pp. 12mo. Contemporary marbled calf, spine gilt in compartments, gilt fillet on sides, marbled edges, spine somewhat rubbed, slightly damaged at head and foot. Stourm 81; Conlon 51:499; INED 1094 (one part only); not in Kress; not in Goldsmiths; not in Einaudi. First edition. Legal and historical work dealing with Machault's plans to tax the ecclesiastical properties. The clergy maintained that they were exempt from tax and that whatever they paid was a voluntary gift. Chauvelin maintains that the clergy can not be exempt from taxes if the king thinks he ought to ask a contribution from them. The issue was hotly debated at the time, as the long list of works cited by Stourm shows. The work was condamned, Machault's plans failed and the exempt position of the clergy was maintained upto the revolution.

réf. 17357Londres, 1787. 88 pp. 8vo. Modern half morocco. Kress B.1266 (other edition); Goldsmiths 13454 (other edition); Einaudi 3412 (other edition); INED 2915 (other edition); Stourm, pp. 145-146 (other edition). One of three editions from the same year, no priority has been established. The French crown faced bankruptcy when the Controller-General, Calonne, presented a financial scheme to end the crisis. The keystone in his program was a tax to be levied on all property owners without discrimination of estate. Calonne also proposed liberating commerce in grains from all internal tariffs. When Calonne was unable to pass this in the Assembly of Notables, he was replaced by Loménie de Brienne. 'Linguet lent the support of his publicity to the Calonne property tax and published this work just after the Notables had turned down Calonne's master plan. (.....) Linguet viewed it as a means by which the government, provisioned in grains, could compete with entrepreneurs, control the market price of wheat, and in that way guarantee the lives of an impoverished and progressively more restless population of dispossessed persons. Linguet saw the unpopular tax program as a key government stratagem for warding off two spectres: bankruptcy and a people's revolution' (D. Gay Levy, The Ideas and Careers of Simon-Nicolas-Henri Linguet, p. 240). - Name on title.
réf. 26200A Aix, Chez André Adibert, Imprimeur du Roi, vis-à-vis le College, 1782. Five works on one volume. 46 pp.; 46 pp.; 31, (1) pp.; 24 pp.; 9, (1) pp. Small folio. Modern boards. None of these items in Conlon. Each work has a very nice engraved head-piece, and the place, name of printer and date are printed in these head-pieces. The head-piece of the fourth work depicts a castle and a house. Deals with the right of tax collecting (tax-farming) by Chabert and the predicted amounts of money to be collected. Chabert won the right to collect the taxes among the members of the guild, and for which right he paid the guild of cobblers, but revenues fell far behind what was predicted/expected. At least one of the reasons was the emigration of vast numbers of "garçons" as a response to measures taken by the guild itself, another the departure of many cobblers after a large fleet had left Marseille. The question here is if Chabert is entitled to discounts or refunds of money he already paid to the guild and if he is to be held accountable for failing to collect the predicted/expected sums of money.The first text is preceded by a handwritten summary of the entire matter of two pages, the second piece has handwritten annotations at the end stating the Chambre de Tournelle affirmed the verdict by arret of 16 july 1782: the second piece finds the guild (the Maîtres Cordonniers) guilty.
