To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Addi- son attacked them in The Spectator (No. 8, 1711), and Johnson in The Rambler (No. 10, 1750). A good con- temporary description of one is in The Guardian (No. 154, 1713). See also W. C. Sydney, England and the English in the Eighteenth Century (1. 144-150). * Excise. * A hateful tax levied upon commodities, and adjudged not by the common judges of property, but wretches hired by those to whom excise is paid' (John- son's Dictionary, 1755). *A duty charged on home goods, either in the proce...ss of their manufacture, or before their sale to the home consumers' {Encycl. Brit.). This tax was unpopular from its establishment by the Common- wealth in 1643 throughout the Eighteenth Century. See Burns' The DeHVs awa' vnth the Exciseman. Johnson refers to Walpole's attempt to use it five years earlier as a means of relieving the distress that followed the South Sea failures. His policy had been masterly, but popular prejudice against excise was so strong that he had aban- doned the measure when it was all but passed, in one of the most striking scenes that ever took place in Parlia- ment.
