Excerpt from Bentley's Miscellany, 1857, Vol. 41The Times, the other day, encouraged the public to in¿iction a little longer, on the ground that in April, 1858, unless revived by another war, the Income-tax will die a natural death, and in 1859 a large portion of debt, contracted in Long Annuities, will be for ever extinguished. But the proviso is by no means one that can be relied upon, particularly when we find the M3 saying, in the same article, that we are promised only one ear of it after next April, but that we are to believe it ii' we like, as it is not unreasonable to apprehend that another year more may be expended out of an ual quantity of original matter, - that is to say, a casual lapse of ten ya after the let of April. The Times further tells as that our agitation comes too late. Last April, it says, was the time, for before that month had e ired it had been fully explained that the laugh of the negotiation {gr peace) had cost a year's Income-tax, and t by the existing act we were saddled with it till April, 1858. That was the occasion to make a stir about it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
