Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Manchester Statistical Society: Session 1899-1900, and Index
By A. W. Flux, m.a. (professor of Political Economy in The Owens College).
IN preparing the paper I lay before you this evening I have been in?uenced, in the first place, by a desire to follow up a useful line of work initiated in this Society by our late honoured Vice President, Mr. John Galloway. But, beyond this, I desired to direct attention in particular to the problem of Local Taxation. I felt that to write on Copenhagen finance, apart from any reference to the objects attained and the methods of administra tion followed, would leave very much to be desired. Hence my paper is much longer than I could have wished, in order that it may include a sufficient amount of information on the points which are desirable for the proper understanding of the financial problem. Naturally, when entering into a certain amount of detail, interesting points arose on which I felt it to be desirable to say something, even though it did not tend directly to my main purpose. I have, nevertheless, omitted any special reference to a considerable number of tempting features, so. That, long as my paper is, it might easily have been much longer.
