TAXATION OF ENGLAND.
It is recorded that Henry V. Was the first monarch who had the subsidies on the exportation of wool and leather, and the duties of tonnage and poundage granted to him for life ; and the account of his reign concludes with the obser- vation that none of the princes of the house of Lancaster ventured to impose taxes without consent of parliament, they having endeavoured by such consent to strengthen their doubtful or defective title to the crown ; a circumstance which by gradually transferring the power of taxation from the arbitrary will of the monarch to the hands of the people, eventually proved of exceeding advantage to the con- stitution.
