1840Best.-Nr. 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.

1777Best.-Nr. I14F46A1C75MVienna: Johann Thomas Edlen von Trattner 1777. Mottled calf gold-tooled spine brown morocco spine label marbled endpapers red edges. 8vo. Medical ordinances and a list of the new taxes on nearly 2000 named medicinal components. As the Habsburgs in the 1770s attempted to strengthen their control over the professional standards and business activity of pharmacists and medical personnel in their realms the authorities imposed new taxes on behalf of Empress Maria Theresa covering all components of medicaments described and prescribed in the Pharmacopoea Austriaco-Provinciali the official book of pharmacological recipes for the entire Habsburg empire with editions published almost every year from 1776 to ca. 1822. The ordinance on the subject was promulgated on 25 November 1775 and took affect on 1 January 1776 so the 1776 edition was clearly the first but the 1790 edition calls itself the second. It is therefore not certain whether the present copy is the true second edition or a reissue of the first. The ordinance pp. 3-8 of the preliminaries is signed by Christian August Graf von Seilern Statthalter and Thomas Ignaz Freiherr von Pöct Kanzler and contains seven points including sanctions and criminal procedures in case of fraud. Trattner was printer and bookseller to the Imperial Court.Foot of spine damaged otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Blake p. 24 1776 ed. Johann Thomas Edlen von Trattner, unknown
