The royal treasury of England: or, a general history of taxes, from the Conquest to the present time. Collected from the best antient and modern historians; as likewise from many valuable manuscripts in the Cotton, and other libraries; as well as from some peculiar Offices in this Kingdom. Shewing when the Crown was supplied, and Impositions laid on the People, only by Virtue of the King's Prerogative; at what Time the House of Lords alone has done the same; and when reduced to the Parliamentary Method now Establish'd. The Whole intermixt with divers remarkable Occurrences; and a considerable Number of Particulars, which have not hitherto appear'd in Print. By the late Capt. John Stevens.
