Guillaume François Le Trosne (1728-1780) joined the physiocrats in 1764, contributing articles to their journals, and writing works defending their ideas. 'He became one of the most lucid exponents of the physiocratic doctrine; his views express most clearly the evolution of the school. At first an enthusiastic, inflexible adept of the abstract physiocratic system, he nevertheless evidenced a preference for practical questions, as reflected in his La liberté du commerce des grains, toujours utile et jamais nuisible (Paris, 1765).In this work, Le Trosne condemns the vagabond as a parasite on, and an enemy of, society. 'Only in politics did he remain absolutely faithful to absolutism ..... and hostile to democracy, that 'bizarre and monstrous' government which he doubtless pictured in the form of the violent popular demonstrations against the dealer in wheat or as personified by the vagabonds who had set fire to one of the farms of the magistrate' (ESS). Discusses the current situation in France, measures, legal and otherwise, taken to combat or remedy the situation, discusses the distinction to be made between vagabonds and beggars, and discusses possible solutions, one of which is condamning vagabonds to the galleys, and ends with a project for beggars and ways to combat mendicity. 'Ils provoquent le renchérissement de la main-d'oeuvre, car leur oisiveté diminue le nombre des travailleurs; ils favorisent encore l'augmentation des tailles' (INED: They cause the increase of cost of manpower, of labour, as their idleness reduces the number of workers; they rather favor the increase of the "tailles" (a tax)" (our translation)).
184020238Boston : Commonwealth of Massachusetts 1840. Broadside. Near Fine. Single folio sheet printed recto approximately 17.5 x 13.675 inches; one horizontal and three vertical folds; near fine. Broadside. An Act passed by both the Massachusetts House of Representatives and the Senate Governing the valuing of poll and property taxes in Massachusetts. The first section tasks Assessors to submit to the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office a "true and perfect list" of all male polls age sixteen and up together with "all rateable estate both real and personal lying within their Cities Towns and Districts" with a value of more than twenty dollars. A poll tax is a tax on a person. The Act also establishes an oath which each Assessor must agree to swear by along with penalties for either refusing the oath or not abiding by its terms. Section Seven of the Act details the correct type of form on which information for listing polls and property must be recorded. Even by today's standards this form might be considered comprehensive to the point of being intrusive. To give a few examples: "Number of ounces of plate of all kinds exceeding twenty dollars in value. Number of bushels of wheat. of rye. of Indian corn. of flax. of hemp. of hops. of tons of hay. of cow rights. of horses one year old and upwards. of mules and asses. of oxen. of steers and heifers. of sheep. of swine." and much much more. It was during this decade that Henry David Thoreau was jailed for not paying his taxes ostensibly on the grounds of his objection to slavery and the Mexican war. Signed in type by Robert C. Winthrop Speaker of the Massachusetts House; Daniel P. King President of the Senate and John P. Bigelow Secretary of the Commonwealth. <br /> <br /> WorldCat records only one institutional holding AAS of a four-page pamphlet of the same title with very similar although not identical content.

1777I14F46A1C75MVienna: Johann Thomas Edlen von Trattner 1777. Mottled calf gold-tooled spine brown morocco spine label marbled endpapers red edges. 8vo. Medical ordinances and a list of the new taxes on nearly 2000 named medicinal components. As the Habsburgs in the 1770s attempted to strengthen their control over the professional standards and business activity of pharmacists and medical personnel in their realms the authorities imposed new taxes on behalf of Empress Maria Theresa covering all components of medicaments described and prescribed in the Pharmacopoea Austriaco-Provinciali the official book of pharmacological recipes for the entire Habsburg empire with editions published almost every year from 1776 to ca. 1822. The ordinance on the subject was promulgated on 25 November 1775 and took affect on 1 January 1776 so the 1776 edition was clearly the first but the 1790 edition calls itself the second. It is therefore not certain whether the present copy is the true second edition or a reissue of the first. The ordinance pp. 3-8 of the preliminaries is signed by Christian August Graf von Seilern Statthalter and Thomas Ignaz Freiherr von Pöct Kanzler and contains seven points including sanctions and criminal procedures in case of fraud. Trattner was printer and bookseller to the Imperial Court.Foot of spine damaged otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Blake p. 24 1776 ed. Johann Thomas Edlen von Trattner, unknown

1488ABC_45211Venice 1488. Italian notarial document on vellum 44.5 x 16 cm; text block ca. 27 x 14 cm. Written in two fine cursive hands. A promissory note drawn up by a notary public of the Venetian Republic: Francesco Marcello a Venetian gentleman owed the main commissioner of Venice 3300 ducats for customs taxes in Damascus. The creditor renounces all other claims and Marcello is to pay the debt in 11 annual instalments of 300 ducats beginning the year following the drafting of the document but he was to put up collateral the following month: "Parendo debitor ser Thadio Polo del Cothimo de Damasco et general de la soria de certa suma de denari de i qual ser Francesco Marcello se ne chiama piezo: et per i magnifici siori de le raxon vechie el fo sententiando volontarie in ducati tremillia et trexento per parte. Et perchè per le grande sue adversità come publicamente ognuno intende non è possibele che senza qualche axeveleza el possi pagar et essendo visto et cognossudo questo per li comessi del dicto Cothimo misier Francesco Falier misser Zuan Bembo et misser Benedeto Sanudo azoché scorando el tempo senza qualche conclusion de haverse con qualche habilità a pagar per nome del dicto Cothimo sono venuti a questa ultima conclusion et acordo chel dicto ser Francesco se chiama come piezo debitor per resto de tute raxon de Cothimo et de le uxure seguide computando la sententia tolta ut supra de ducati tremillia et trexento da esser pagadi per el dicto ser Francesco ducati trexento alanno et sia obligato dar bona et sufficiente piezarìa over caution de paga in paga. Et comenza el tempo anno uno da poi concluso tal acordo: et die mexe uno da poi tal acordo dar dicta piezarìa over caution et cussi de paga in paga fin integra satisfatction havendoli isoproducti per nome del Cothimo a pregar Carta de Segurtà de non li haver ni poder altro domandar .". Immediately below this statement is a confirmation by the Damascus consul Giovanni Mocenigo of the obligation to pay the sum of 3300 ducats in 11 annual instalments by the Venetian gentleman Francesco Marcello and his son.A remarkable early Renaissance document concerning a legal agreement set up by the three commissioners of the council of the Venetian court known as the "Quarantia Civil Vecchia" commissioned to oversee the correct collection of the customs tax which was to be paid by merchants on goods imported from or exported to Egypt and Syria.In fine condition. hardcover
