"History of Taxation in Rhode Island to the Year 1790" by Henry B. Gardner is a scholarly exploration of how money was raised to run Rhode Island from its beginnings to about 1790. It traces the path Rhode Island took from using simple payments and services to a more organized way of taxation as it grew as a colony. It explains that at first, the colony didn't really have taxes, but as time passed, it started using taxation as a main part of its economy and government. Beginning with a look at money matters in England before colonial times, the author shows how these ideas affected how Rhode Island first handled its finances, painting how taxes became more important as the colony changed.
