The additional duties which the pro- 

 gress of the public expenditure has ren- 



dered it necessary to impose, have great- 

 ly increased the produce of the excise, 

 and rendered it the most important 

 branch of the public revenue. The du- 

 ties which it comprehends are divided 

 into the permanent consolidated duties, 

 the temporary war taxes, and the annual 

 duties; the latter consist of the old an- 

 nual malt duty, and of an additional malt 

 duty, which, with some duties on tobacco 

 and snuff, and some custom duties, have, 



since the project for selling the land tax, 

 been granted a 



[ annually in lieu thereof. 



Total gross produce of the Excise Duties in England, in the year ending the 5th 



of January, 1807.
