Excerpt from The Pamphleteer, 1822, Vol. 20: Dedicated to Both Houses of Parliament

It is assuredly not too much to say, that in the imposition of four out of five of these new taxes, the Chancellor of the Exche quer made such a selection of the subject-matter upon which they were imposed, that the burden of them is in practice so insensibly felt, that not one person out of five hundred can enumerate the sub jects taxed. Indeed, so considerately, and with such just selection, were these new taxes imposed, that, up to the present period, they are paid by the consumer, and almost by the dealer, without the consciousness of any increase.
