"History of Taxation in Rhode Island to the Year 1790" by Henry B. Gardner is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work examines the evolution and mechanisms of taxation in Rhode Island from the establishment of its earliest settlements through to the end of the colonial period around 1790. The book likely delves into how taxation shaped the economic and political landscape of the colony, providing insights into
the methods and justifications for tax laws over time. The opening of the book sets the stage for this complex narrative, discussing the pre-taxation era in English history and its implications for the colonies. It outlines how initial methods of revenue collection in Rhode Island were rudimentary, relying on fines, fees, and services rather than formal taxation, and highlights the gradual transition towards a more structured system of taxation as the colony grew. This introductory section serves to contextualize the specifics of Rhode Island's taxation in relation to broader historical and societal changes, emphasizing a formative period in which taxation became a recognized feature of governance and economic life.
