Contested Longitude Critique and Taxation Debate

A reader letter complains about Locke longitude errors and Palladium's stance while defending scientific inquiry. It argues against misrepresentation, defends the Palladium Author, and challenges Locke’s maritime assertions. The piece shifts to a tax discussion, demystifying the land tax and burdens on tenants versus landowners, with historical context on trade, enclosure, and price effects in England and Wales.
