£ 200.00 |

London. J.N. for Abel Roper. 1641. pp. (ii), 14. 4to. Disbound. Margins slightly browned. Wing W522. DNB.The pamphlet is about Ship Money and Mr Justice Crawleys support of the tax “that Ship-money was so inherent a right in the Crown, that it would not be in the power of a Parliament to take it away”. “Herein (my Lords) he did not onely give as deepe a wound to the Common-wealth as any of the rest, but dipt his dart in such a poyson, that so farre as in him lay it might never receive a cure”. Ship Money was a tax introduced by Charles I to raise money for naval defences, initially it was only levied on coastal towns but later became a more general form of taxation. The Long Parliament of 1641 declared it illegal. Waller opened the proceedings to impeach Crawley. This pamphlet was so popular that it is said to have sold 20,000 copies in one day. but later it became a moregeneral form of taxation.
