Letters On The Sound-Dues-Question: One To Seven (1855)

By Hugh Farrar McDermott

Book Overview

""Letters On The Sound-Dues-Question: One To Seven"" is a book written by Hugh Farrar McDermott in 1855. The book is a collection of seven letters that were originally published in a newspaper, addressing the issue of sound dues. Sound dues were a tax imposed on ships passing through the Sound, a narrow waterway between Denmark and Sweden. McDermott argues against the imposition of this tax, which he sees as an unfair burden on trade and commerce. In his letters, he discusses the history of the sound dues, their economic impact, and the political implications of their continuation. McDermott's arguments are well-researched and persuasive, and the book provides valuable insight into the economic and political climate of the mid-19th century. Overall, ""Letters On The Sound-Dues-Question: One To Seven"" is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on an important issue in international trade and diplomacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
