Reviews

...a welcome addition to the literature. The evidence of research effort is impressive and is a major strength of this volume. Each of the articles provides a wealth of detail...I would commend [it] to anyone with an interest in taxation history. It sets a high standard for detailed archive-sourced tax historical research. Furthermore, it rewards a careful reading and contains pearls of great price in providing examples of detailed and evocative historical research. -- Rob Vosslamber * Accounting History, Volume 18(1) *
