Excerpt from The Duty on Fire Insurances, Erroneous in Principle, and Injurious in Practice: An Appeal to Parliament and the Public, in Behalf of the "Ultimate Abolition" Of the Tax, and Its "Immediate Reduction" From Three Shillings to One Shilling Per Cent
The object of the present pamphlet, somewhat hurriedly thrown together, is to collect, concentrate, and present to the public, in a popular and intelligible form, the leading facts and arguments in favour of a reduction of the duty in question. In spite of many deficiencies, of which the author is fully conscious, in the execution of the task he has undertaken at the request of the Association, he feels nevertheless persuaded that he has made out such a case that no unprejudiced reader will be able to follow him to the close of his remarks without arriving at the conclusion which he and his friends have reached, viz., that the time has now fully come when a material reduction of this duty from 38. To ls. Per cent. Ought to be frankly and unreservedly conceded by the Government.
