ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTING THE
REPEAL OF THE TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE.
—Office,lo, Ampton Place, Gray's Inn Road.
President—T. Milner Gibson, M.P.

Treasurer—J. Alfred Novello. Sub .treasurer—Dr. John Watts,
Chairman—Richard Moore. Secretary—C. D. Collett.
NOTICE TO PAPER-MAKERS. _ _

The association has every reason to believe that the irregularities
and anomalies incidental to the collection of the paper duty, are
quite as numerous as those which for many years it was engaged in
exposing, as connected with the advertisement duty and the news-
paper stamp. Nothing will tend so much to the abolition of the
paper duty as a systematic attack upon the injustice which it inflict
in individual cases. The association will therefore feel obliged by
any addiition to its information on this subject, and will be ready to
consider the practicability of obtairing redress in any individuals
case of grievance. _ - _

Subsciiptions to be paid to Messrs. Prescott and Grote, Thread
needle.street ; to the treasurer, J. A. Novello. 69, Dean.street
Sono; or to the sub-treasurer, Dr. W a ts, 3, Hilldrop Crescent
Holloway.
All other communications should be addressed to the secretary.—
By order of the Committee, C D. COLLET, Secretary,
