The Reader’s Guide prefaces its bibliography of public -finance with thefollowing note :

“The first authority on American taxation is Wells, whose reports are invaluable.Ely’s and Seligman’s monographs deserve high commendation. The works of Dowelland Noble are the best English contributions to the literature of public finance. Pres.E. B. Andrews prescribes the following course for a student: Cossa’s Taxation, thenMarzano. From him, being now ready for a real comprehension of the subject, hecould proceed to the third volume of Schdnberg’s Handbuch der politischen Oekonomie.Thence, to enrich his view by fresh and large exposition, joined with abundant histori-cal application, he might pass to Cohn. He could then advance to Roscher, Wagner,Stein, and Leroy-Beaulieu.”
