WHEN ENGLISH
HEARTS WERE TAXED

Among other unpleasant taxes
there used to be tax upon the
English hearth. In 1862 it was
ordered that Hearth money!" SO
cents, should be collected for each
householder for the privilege of
warming his feet. This, too, on
each hearth fire or stove in his
house. 1t was not q popular tax.
1t was hard tc evade. The tax
collector was given power to count
the chimneys from the inside of the
house. and chimneys, unlike win.
dows, cannot be blocked up and
concealed until the assessor has
taken their number. The tax was
collected with vigor until William
III. repealed it Sin order to erect
a lasting monument of their
majesties' goodness in every
hearth in the land"
