England and Wales Tax Calculation Reflections
The letter argues that the land tax would double produce across England and Wales if the tax were four shillings in the pound. It cites counties paying only two shillings or half a crown and suggests miscalculation by one third, leading to seventy five millions. It ends with a flourish inviting readers to consider compound interest and the national debt.
