Note 66 — PART I. SUPPLEMENTAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE Nature and Value of Civil Liberty and Free Government.
Reading edition
See Remarks on the Acts of the Thirteenth Parliament of Great Britain. P. 34, &c.—“Is not the same reasoning applicable to taxes paid for the support of civil government? Are not these too the property of the civil magistrate?” Ibid. p. 56.—If I understand this writer, his meaning is, not only that the taxes which the civil magistrate has imposed are his property; but also, any which he shall please to impose.
