Book Overview

The Taxes: A Dramatic Entertainment is a play written by Phanuel Bacon and first published in 1757. The play is a satirical look at the British tax system, and follows the character of Sir John Taxall, a wealthy landowner who is tasked with collecting taxes from the people in his area. However, Sir John soon finds himself caught up in a web of corruption and deceit, as he struggles to balance his duty to the Crown with his own personal interests. The play is filled with witty dialogue, colorful characters, and biting social commentary, and is considered a classic example of 18th-century British satire. Overall, The Taxes is an entertaining and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on the politics and economics of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
