An historical account of all taxes : under what denomination soever, from the conquest to the death of K. George the First : collected from the best historians, as well ancient as modern, likewise from many valuable manuscripts in the Cotton and other libraries, and several offices in this kingdom : shewing when the Crown was supply'd, and impositions laid on the people, only by virtue of the King's prerogative : at what times the House of Lords alone has done the same, and when reduc'd to the parliamentary method now establish'd : the whole intermix'd with divers remarkable occurrences, and a considerable number of particulars which never before appear'd in print /
