Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays in Taxation
This book was originally published in 1895, and the favor -with which it was received has rendered necessary a new edition every two or three years. Owing partly to the pressure of other occupations and partly to a shrinking from the arduous labor which would have been required to keep the' presentation up to date, these successive editions contained but slight changes. Now however, after the lapse of almost eighteen years, the progress of the world, both in fiscal facts and in economic theory, has been so marked as to render any further delay impossible if the book is to remain a half-way satisfactory interpretation of actual conditions.
