About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1875. Not illustrated.

This was the first tax ever levied in the place; and taking into consideration the poverty of the people, it was by no means a small one. There seems to have been some doubt of its being paid promptly, for Wm. Griggs the Collector, was allowed as a remuneration, six per cent. on all the money he collected.
