ABSTRACT
J.R. Jones, ed., The Restored Monarchy, 1660-1688 (1979). More detailed coverage is contained in M.J. Braddick, Parliamentary Taxation in 17th-Century England: Local Administration and Response (Woodbridge, 1994); F.C. Dietz, English Public Finance, 1558-1641 (1932); C.D. Chandaman, The English Public Revenue, 1660-1688 (Oxford, 1975), which is now the definitive work on the period; and, for the later years, P.G.M. Dickson, The Financial Revolution in England: A Study in the Development of Public Credit, 1688-1756 (1967), a firstclass survey. For information on the Treasury, see S.B. Baxter, The Development of the Treasury, 1660-1702 (1957), and two books by H. Roseveare: The Treasury: The Evolution of a British Institution (1969) and The Treasury, 1660-1870 (1973). The crown’s borrowing is the subject of Robert Ashton, The Crown and the Money Market, 1603-1640 (Oxford, 1960), while Menna Prestwich, Cranfield: Politics and Profits under the Early Stuarts (Oxford, 1966) considers the efforts made to achieve economies. J.V. Beckett, ‘Land tax or excise: the levying of taxation in seventeenth-and eighteenth-century England’, EHR 100 (1985) provides a useful survey of the varying types of taxation in force, particularly during the 1690s.
