Excerpt from Considerations on the Present State of the Country in Respect to Income and Taxation: In a Letter to the Right Honourable the Earl of Liverpool, First Lord Commissoner of His Majesty's Treasury, &C. &C., From a Professional Gentleman of Edinburg My Lord, I had the honour of addressing your Lordship upon a former occasion, with the view not only of pointing out the causes of the distress that then so generally prevailed in this country, but also of suggesting a remedy which appeared to me at the time adequate to the removal of that distress. I do not mean, upon this occasion, to intrude upon your Lordship any further observations upon that plan; but I feel impelled again to address your Lordship, for the purpose of pointing out, in what I hope may be a clear and satisfactory manner, not merely the propriety, but the absolute necessity, of making more minute inquiry into the present state of the country than has yet been done, and adopting such mode of relief as may be considered efficient in reestablishing that equilibrium in the rights and property of the different classes of society, which have been so much deranged, and which apparently are approaching to a state of still further derangement. The subject of this inquiry is of a complicated nature, and it is possible I may altogether fail in the object I have in view; but, even if this were to be the case, I may yet have the good fortune to suggest some views and considerations that may be of use to an enlightened politician who has the inclination and the power to take the necessary measures for the good of the country. The principal object I have in view at present is, to point out a mode either of ascertaining or approximating to the true and actual revenue of the country, so as to draw a comparison between the amount of the taxable revenue on the one hand, and the amount of taxes actually levied out of it on the other; that your Lordship, and others interested, may be able to judge, from the simplest view of the affairs of the country that can be given, whether the country is likely to prosper by persevering in the present system, and whether it may not be absolutely necessary to change that system, at least in the mean time.
