Synopsis

This book offers a detailed accounting of British customs duties and other fiscal impositions in the 18th century. Beginning with a survey of their role in period revenue, the author delves into the specifics of more than two dozen duties, including the old and new Subsidies, tonnage, poundage, butlerage, and more. Within this framework, they provide context for both casual and professional readers alike. The book is well-organized and accessible to the general reader and yet sufficiently detailed and researched to be a valuable resource for specialized scholars and historians. Through its insightful examination of the practicalities of levying duties and the administrative methods of the period, this book does much to enhance our understanding of everyday economic and bureaucratic life in 18th-century Britain.
