[Maine, Jonas C.]:

DOCTOR MAINE'S LIST FOR 1850. MADE AGREEABLY TO THE REQUIREMENT OF THE NEW LAW, FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF TAXES.

Rockville [CT]: Press of the Tolland County Republican, 1859. 8pp, untrimmed. Folded [fold splitting], pinned. Tanned, with some spotting. Good.

The author writes humorous poetry to express his distress at new and excessive tax laws. A complete list of taxable property would take "Methuselah's hours...Although I have little that now commands cash; I've plenty, (in 'ruins') all broken to smash; A fine dish of 'all-sorts,' to publish in form; Would make out a list thrice as long as my arm. So I must abbreviate, and name them in groups; then let our great ASSES-ors examine to boot..."
