Distillery Taxes and Public Health Debate in 1758
A letter argues against unrestricted grain distilling as a health and moral threat, urging heavy duties on grain used in distilling to curb consumption and raise revenue. It proposes mandating malted grain, favoring barley, and controlling grain prices to limit whiskey production amid wartime costs. Related notices report parliamentary election of Sir Richard Glyn, naval movements in Naples, German troop positions, and weekly mortality and finance figures.
