The National Tax Law of July 1st, 1862, and the Amendatory Act of March 3, 1863

This is a reference work, not a penny dreadful. It is the National Tax Law of July 1st, 1863, and the Amendatory Act of March 3rd, 1863, published by Beadle and Company. The volume contains the complete text of the federal internal revenue taxation statute, organized by section and subject matter. It covers the creation of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, collection districts and officers, duties on spirits and alcohol, licensing requirements for manufacturers, taxes on railroads and steamboats, banking and insurance provisions, stamp duties, income tax, and inheritance taxes. An alphabetical summary of taxed articles and rates imposed concludes the work. This is a government reference manual, not popular fiction.
