DEsigning the Welfare of my Country, I have Published Three Volumns of Collections for Improvement of Husbandry and Trade: In the first whereof, Numb. 13. are some Considerations for Subscriptions upon Lives, (now again in De­bate) and published by its self in Two Sheets: In Other Places of them, are the Matter and Use of Money, with several other (I presume) useful Notes.

Whether this Table may shew Reason for Alteration of the Method of Taxing, I submit to proper Judges. The Matter of Fact I here endeavour to Demonstrate; and am,
