Sinopsis

Excerpt from Taxation: Its Principles and Methods

This work does not deal with customs duties except in their fiscal aspect. The dispute be tween protection and free trade is not touched upon, since the aim of protection is not to pro vide means for the support of government, but something quite different. The science of the finances does not deal with things which incident ally affect the revenue. A dry season may do that, but dryness and wetness are not financial considerations. While the tariff question, as it popularly presents itself, is not touched upon, the effects of taxes on imports, upon different classes in the community, are made sufficiently clear.

Excerpt from Taxation: Its Principles and Methods

The author of this treatise kindly sent me a copy of it in the year 1882, I had become interested in his work, through his "Guide to the Study of Political Economy," introduced to English readers by the late Professor Jevons. I, accordingly, had a translation of the Scienza delle Finanze made for my own use, but without any fixed intention of publishing it. The admirable brevity and comprehensiveness of Professor Cossa's statement of the principles of taxation, and the light thrown on the evolution of the science of public finance, and the want of any short treatise of similar scope in the English language, led me to believe that it would find an appreciative audience in this country. But the time did not then appear to be favorable.

During the past three or four years there has been a marked revival of interest in economic discussion, as is shown by the number of new works by American writers that have come from the press in that interval, and by the formation and regular meetings of two distinctively economic societies.
