About This Item
McGills Queen's University Press, 1992. Hardcover. Very Good. Ginter focuses on the years 1780 to 1832, a period for which many land tax records survive and precisely when modern forms of political organization began to emerge and when industrialization and enclosure are thought to have altered the fabric of society and the economy. Through an examination of more than 5,000 parishes in fifteen historical counties -- approximately one-third of England -- he shows that inequalities in the burden of national taxation were far greater than anyone has estimated." Tall octavo (23.5 cm tall) [xxxii], 711 pp. Blue cloth. From private collection. Binding shows a little soiling. Bookplate on front pastedown.
