The Proposal, Commonly Called Sir Matthew Decker's Scheme

The Proposal, Commonly Called Sir Matthew Decker's Scheme: For One General Tax Upon Houses, Laid Open is a book written by Joseph Massie in 1757. The book is a detailed analysis and critique of Sir Matthew Decker's proposal for a general tax on houses. The proposal was put forward as a solution to the financial problems faced by the British government at the time, but Massie argues that it would be unfair and impractical. He examines the proposal in detail, pointing out its flaws and suggesting alternative solutions. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of taxation and public finance, as well as for anyone interested in the politics and economics of 18th century Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
