Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an argument against the raising of funds for government using a scheme introduced by Sir John Barnard. The author of this book takes the opposing position, analyzing Barnard's proposal point by point, showing where it falls flat and why his alternate proposal is more beneficial. A key concern of the author is that Barnard's scheme is over-priced and would prove ruinously expensive for the nation. This book instead urges the reader to consider an alternate plan that is described as faster, cheaper, and safer. This book is a fascinating look at a critical moment in history, offering a unique lens through which to understand the financial and political issues of the time.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the divisions in the British Parliament in 1755 did not represent a truly dire threat to the English government or people. The author argues that the public opinion of England was overwhelmingly in favor of the reigning king (George II), and that the parliamentary opposition to the ministry was more concerned with jockeying for position than with representing the interests of the people. The author further argues that the French posed more of a threat to themselves than to England, due to their own internal problems and lack of preparedness for war, and that England's armed forces were fully capable of defending the country from any French threat.
