OF OUR

LAWS AGAINST USURY;

BY AN INQUIRY

INTO THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE SEVERALA

REDUCTIONS IN THE

RATE OF INTEREST IN ENGLAND

PROVING THAT

THE REPEAL OF THOSE LAWS IS CONTRARY TO ALL SOUND
PRECEPTS OF POLITICS AND MORALS;

AND THAT

EVEN A FURTHER REDUCTION IN THE RATE OF INTEREST
WOULD BE MORE BENEFICIAL FOR THE KINGDOM.

more against nature than Death.".
