Introduction.
The financial history of the reign of James II reverses
the verdict which in the introductions to the preceding
vols. of this Calendar has been passed upon Charles II's
administration. That verdict declared that Charles's policy
was national, that his administration was honest, that he
was starved, cheated and betrayed by his Parliament
and misunderstood by his people, that he was routed by
Louis XIV in a diplomatic encounter which was as
unscrupulous as any in the annals of the modern world,
but that spite of all he fought a clean fight, remained
unflinchingly true to his country and to himself, and
died a gentleman.
If history is obliged, in the case of James II, to reverse
this verdict it is entirely that monarch's own fault. We
find at first some difficulty in understanding why his reign
should have opened under such distinctly brighter financial
auspices than Charles had enjoyed. It is impossible to
be explained on the ground of James's personal popularity
for he never was popular. The truth can only be that
after the fury of the Popish Plot was past the nation's
eyes were opened, it became conscious of the fact that
Louis XIV had engineered the whole episode and had
profited magnificently by it and that the success of the
scheme had only been rendered possible by Charles II's
impoverishment at the hands of a disloyal and factious
Parliament. A mere reaction from a fit of religious fury
would never have led the Parliament of James II to remedy
the evil at its root, the financial evil at its financial root.
Such action could only have been prompted by a clear
conception of how deeply the nation had been befooled,
and by a stern determination that it should not be so
again. The unanimity and decision of James's first, and
only, Parliament would be otherwise inexplicable.
James II succeeded to the throne on the 6th Feb., 1685.
His Parliament met on the 19th of May. On the 22nd,
after three days spent in the formalities of swearing in,
the Commons in Committee of the whole House and within
a few minutes of listening to the King's speech, voted
without a dissentient voice that the revenue which was
settled on the late King for life be settled on his present
Majesty for life. The significance of this vote may need
emphasising. It is the last instance of its kind in English
history. Roughly speaking, the revenue comprised under
this vote consisted of the old Customs and Excise, all new
impositions which would fall under either of these heads,
the Hearthmoney, Post Office and a number of smaller
miscellaneous hereditary and semi-feudal sources of revenue
which in the accounts of the time are generally included
under the heading of " small branches of the revenue."
When William III came to the throne all this revenue
was granted for one year only ("resolved: that all those
branches of the revenue which were due and payable by
law in the reigns of King Charles II and King James II
be collected to the use and service of the Crown until the
24th day of June, 1689, as by law they might have been
during either of those reigns," 11 Mar., 1688–9, Commons'
Journals, Vol. X, p. 46). But under James II the theory of
the Constitution was still that of the Tudor monarchy.
The executive, the administration of the country, was
entirely in the hands of the King and the revenue which
was granted him at the outset of a reign, for the maintenance
of such executive, was really the King's by right, was
hereditary; the grant was only a formality to betoken his
entering into his own. Between the death of Charles II and
the passing of the Act based on this vote of 1685, May 22
(the consequent Act for the Continuance of the Customs and
Excise was pressed through with such expedition that it
received the royal assent on May 30) an interval of 3½
months had elapsed, during which there was theoretically no
legal justification for demanding either Customs or Excise or
Hearthmoney. But James had demanded them and collected
them without any opposition from the mercantile or other
classes concerned (see his explanation of the situation in his
interview with Barillon 18 Feb., 1685, Dalrymple, Vol. II,
Appendix, p. 100, I have resolved to call a Parliament immediately. . . I shall publish at the same time a declaration that I am to maintain myself in the enjoyment of the
same revenues the King my brother had. Without this
Proclamation for a Parliament I should hazard too much
by taking possession directly of the revenue which was
established during the lifetime of my deceased brother").
Accordingly when Parliament met this act of the executive
was not challenged. The matter was passed over in
silence. "In the affair of money," says Sir J. Reresby
(p. 324), "men seemed content to settle a handsome
revenue on the King and to give money; but whether
this was to be a constant revenue or only temporary to be
renewed from time to time, that Parliament might be
consulted the oftener, was the question." In presenting
the Bill to the King on May 30 the Speaker of the House
of Commons used the following extraordinary language:—
" We do now come in all duty to present to your Majesty
the revenue you pleased to demand at the opening of
this Parliament, wherein we proceeded with as much speed
as the forms of passing Bills of that nature would admit.
We bring not with it any Bill for the preservation or security
of our religion which is dearer to us than our lives, in
that we acquiesce, entirely rely and rest wholly satisfied
in your Majesty's gracious and sacred word, repeated
declaration and assurance to support and defend the
religion of the Church of England as it is now by law
established. We present this revenue to your Majesty
without the addition of any conditional, appropriating
or tacking clauses etc. and we humbly beseech your Majesty
to accept of it" (Lords' Journals, Vol. XIV, p. 21).
Language more abject and servile than this was never
used by any of Queen Elizabeth's Parliaments.
In the whole proceedings—they are indeed slight—on
this Bill in the Commons there is not a trace of the slightest
attempt at calculating the revenue needs of the Government. There was no estimate formed or even asked for
as to what would be the normal yield or produce of the
revenue so to be granted, nor as to what was the normal
expenditure of the country. The whole thing was left
passively in the hands of the King.
But there was more to come.
In thanking the House of Commons for this Act, James
put them in mind of the departmental debts resting upon
the executive : " After so happy a beginning you may
believe I would not call upon you unnecessarily for an
extraordinary supply. But when I tell you that the
stores of the Navy and Ordnance are extremely exhausted ;
that the anticipations upon several branches of the revenue
are great and burdensome ; that the debts of the King
my brother to his servants and family are such as deserve
compassion ; that the rebellion in Scotland without putting
more weight upon it than it really deserves, must oblige
me to a considerable expense extraordinary, I am sure
such considerations will move you to give me an aid to
provide for those things wherein the security, the ease
and the happiness of my Government are so much concerned.
But above all I must recommend to you the care of the
Navy, the strength and glory of this nation."
By the side of the appeals which Charles II had made
to his Parliaments, appeals that were pressing, manly,
frank and completely justified, this appeal of James II
to his first and only Parliament is tame and colourless,
lacking at once in justification and in conviction. And
yet it met with instant and unquestioning acquiescence.
Indeed, more than that. The terms of the appeal were
such that the Commons would have been perfectly justified
in voting an aid calculated to raise once and all an amount
of, say, 2,000,000l. to wipe out the departmental debts
(including, of course, the Household debts to Charles II's
servants etc.), thus making the executive solvent and
giving it an unhampered start for the new reign.
Instead of adopting this course, however, the Commons
actually granted the King increments of his standing
revenue. In other words, they increased the " King's
own," his permanent hereditary revenue. That which
James I had striven in vain to attain by the Great Contract,
that which Charles II had begged of his Commons,
insistently, beseechingly, convincingly, but always in vain,
all this was granted to James II at the first time of asking.
The only limitation was that these new grants, as will be
seen, were limited to the period of eight years, 1685, June24,
to 1693, June 24.
The moment the Speaker had reported the King's speech
to the Commons the House resolved itself into Grand
Committee and after apparently a most perfunctory debate
resolved to grant the King [for life] the duties on wines
and vinegar which at three separate times (by the Acts
of 19 and 20 Car. II, c. 6; 22 Car. II, c. 3; 30 Car. II,
c. 2) had been granted to Charles II for specific restricted
periods (Commons' Journals, Vol. IX, pp. 722–3, May 30).
With equal precipitancy and complacency the Grand
Committee on the following day resolved to grant the
King [for life] additional duties on tobacco and on sugars (fn. 1)
(Ibid, p. 724).
The Bill for the duties on wines and vinegars passed
the Commons without opposition on June 3 (Commons'
Journals, Vol. IX, p. 726), that is within three days of the
original resolution. It passed the Lords on the 5th June
without amendment (Lords' Journals, Vol. XIV, p. 32).
The treatment which was accorded to the companion
measure, the Bill for a duty on sugars and tobacco, was
equally cursory. It was rushed through the Committee
stage in the Commons in a single afternoon (12 June,
Commons' Journals, Vol. X, p. 734), was carried up to the
Lords on the 15th June, read a first time in the Lords on that
day, finally passed on the following day and on that same
day, June 16, these two Bills of supply, the Wines and
Vinegar Duties Act and the Sugars and Tobacco duties
Act, received the royal assent.
Thus without the slightest deliberation and within
three weeks of the opening of the session two important
grants of supply had been made to reinforce the ordinary
revenue of the Crown for a period of eight years. The
little light that is thrown upon the debates by outside
sources shows that the only subject of dispute arose over
the proposal to tax Plantation sugar. Those members of
the House who were interested in the Plantations opposed
the proposal on the ground that it behoved England to
foster the sugar trade in the Plantations in imitation of
the French, who were then endeavouring to encourage
that trade. At the same time the importers, merchants
and grocers, attempted a factious opposition purely from
their own trade standpoint, but they were easily dashed
and put out of countenance by Sir Dudley North, then one
of the Treasury Lords, to whom the scheme of this tax
in particular is attributed:—
"Divers proposals were made, some for a land tax
on purpose that the duty might be unpopular;
some for a tax upon new buildings ; and others
had their projects which they had little reason
for. . . Sir Dudley North took a strict account
of all the commodities in trade from the Custom
House books and considered which would best
bear a further imposition, for if commodities are
overrated it amounts to a prohibition. At last
he thought fit to propose a tax of one farthing
upon sugars and an halfpenny upon tobacco
imported, to lie upon the English consumption
only and not upon the export, and this as he estimated would yield the sum expected and would
scarce be any burthen sensible to the people. In
short, this tax was approved and voted at the
Committee and a Bill directed which was drawn
up and brought in." (North's Life of Sir Dudley
North, pp. 377–9, and Life of Lord Keeper North,
p. 377; Reresby's Diary, pp. 330–1.)
The third Act of Supply which passed this Parliament
was intended, in its inception, not so much as a general
reinforcement of the King's revenue as for the extraordinary
occasion of suppressing the rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth. But although intended ostensibly to meet so
temporary and extraordinary an occasion, the form which
the supply finally took was a permanent one. The first
proposal for this supply was made on June 17, the day
following that on which the two preceding grants had
received the royal assent. At first the new proposal took
the form of a projected tax on new buildings in London
and Southwark (Commons' Journals, Vol. IX, p. 739).
Reresby's part in the debate on this proposal is a very
interesting one:—
"I spoke thrice in this debate, first in answer to the
gentleman that said this was laying a tax for a
public use upon one piece of a county and upon
private persons; to which I replied that this one
county drained all England of its people, especially
the North, our tenants all coming hither, finding
by experience that they could live here better in
a cellar or a garret than they could live in the country
on a farm of 30l. rent; that hereby this little piece
of England had laid a tax in a manner upon all the
rest of England and was a nuisance to all the rest
and therefore it was not so improper that it should
be taxed separately and the rather because it was
never taxed before or but once very little. Some
moved that it should be laid for one year and a
half, but that I opposed, for I said there were some
few foundations taxed in Oliver's time and that
tax was laid but for one year in the worst of times,
and therefore we ought not now to lay it for a
longer period in good times. It was moved that
more money might be laid upon brandies towards
this supply to the King; but this I spoke against,
saying it was fit this [the new buildings fund] should
be computed how much it would arise to before
another fund was encumbered or more money
voted to be raised."
On the following day, however, June 18, James sent an
urgent message to the House desiring them to provide a
good fund of credit [to borrow on] for a present sum of
money, to answer the immediate charge of the rebellion
in the West. Without hesitation or debate the House
voted that a supply not exceeding 400,000l. be given to
the King. Finding that the project of a tax on new
buildings would take a considerable time to work out,
estimate and enact, the House turned to the more ready
alternative of a tax on certain imported commodities,
French linen, brandies, calicoes and wrought silks (June 20,
Commons' Journals,Vol. IX, pp. 742–3). It was resolved that
on the credit of the fund thus allocated the King should
be empowered to raise loans to an amount not exceeding
400,000l. (June 24, ibid, p. 747). In this form the Bill
passed the Commons on the 25th June and was carried up
(ibid, p. 749; Lords' Journals, Vol. XIV, p. 58). The Bill
passed the Lords on the following day (Lords' Journals,
Vol. XIV, p. 60) and received the royal assent on June 27.
This last Act of Supply, therefore, of the Session was
passed through all the stages in both Houses in five days
and received the royal assent within a week. And it is
to be especially noticed that this Bill, though called into
existence as a temporary and extraordinary supply for
the purpose of suppressing Monmouth's rebellion, had a
comparatively long time limit. The grant of these duties
was to be for the five years from 1685, July 1, to 1690,
July 1.
To complete this hasty sketch of the financial provision
made by Parliament for James II it is only necessary to
add the Bill for removing the prohibition of the import of
French wines and vinegar. On the 18th June, Roger North
was instructed to prepare such a Bill. It passed the
Commons on the 25th, and the Lords on the 26th, and
received the royal assent on the 27th June (Commons'
Journals, Vol. IX, pp. 740, 748; Lords' Journals, Vol. XIV,
pp. 57, 60, 65).
The importance of this last Act lies in the fact that the
prohibition (in the Act for the Poll of the year 1677) of
the import of French goods had produced a very serious
shrinkage in the Customs receipts from 1677 onwards.
The loss of revenue from this source alone was very great
during the remaining years of Charles's reign. For the
whole of those remaining years it has been even stated at
1,000,000l. The removal of the prohibition, therefore,
meant that the Customs receipts would be enabled, and
actually were enabled, to go back to their high water level
of the years 1675–7.
Before concluding this list of the supply granted by
Parliament to James II, reference must be made to the
Coinage Duty Act. By the Act of 1 James II, c. 7, the
two former Acts (of 18 Car. II, c. 5, and 25 Car. II, c. 8)
were revived for seven years with the purpose of providing,
as those two Acts had done, for practically free coinage
of gold and silver. In order to meet the cost of such free
coinage, Parliament had under Charles II granted the King
a new impost on certain liquors with the stipulation that
the receipts should be applied to such coinage and that
the accounts of such moneys should be kept separate
from the general accounts of the Customs. It will be at
once apparent that for all purposes of revenue and
expenditure such a provision can be left out of account.
Under both Charles II and James II these Coinage Duty
Acts simply imposed a burden of so much on the King
and found a supply of so much (the equivalent amount)
to meet that burden. The grant was not therefore a
grant of revenue nor was the expenditure a normal part
of national expenditure.
This explanation is only necessitated by the fact that
in the series of accounts below the Coinage duty will be
found occupying a separate compartment or account
from the General Customs account. As already said, this
is due to the terms of the Act of Parliament referred to.
It almost takes one's breath away to compare such
complacent, subservient, breakneck financial legislation
with the treatment which for the preceding 15 years had
been meted out to Charles II. Within three weeks the
Parliament had voted James II a permanent hereditary
income for life, which ultimately was proved to average
over 1,500,000l. per an.; and over and above that it had
voted three additional Acts of Supply which in their totality
increased James's annual revenue by over 400,000l. per an.,
thus bringing his actual income to nearly 2,000,000l.
per an., as against 1,200,000l. which the Restoration
Parliament had promised to give to Charles II. And all
this had been done without any estimate having been
called for as to the national expenditure. When James II's
Parliament voted him this money it had not the slightest
idea what need there was for it or what use it would be put
to. There was not a single clause of appropriation in any
one of the Acts. No statement of departmental debts
had been submitted to the House, nor any outline of
proposed expenditure for the future. The House of
Commons simply shut its eyes and opened its mouth.
On the 2nd July the Parliament was adjourned to Aug. 4,
and on that day again to Nov. 9. Even yet the reactionary
wave which had made the Commons so subservient to the
King had not spent itself, and when James approached
them with a request for further supply the Commons
were prepared to meet him. But this time James made
the mistake of being explicit, of showing his hand. Taking
Monmouth's rebellion as a pretext, he told the two Houses
how he had increased the standing Forces and he asked
for a supply for the support of this great charge " which
is now more than double what it was " (Lords' Journals,
Vol. XIV, p. 73, Nov. 9), at the same time telling the Houses
quite plainly that he had retained in commission divers
Catholic officers who had not qualified themselves by
taking the Test. On their first subsequent meeting
(Nov. 13) the Commons refused to pass a vote of thanks
for the King's speech. It voted supply for the King's
extraordinary occasions, but would not fix the quantum
nor the appropriation—the proposal to appropriate the
supply to the support of the Army being lost by 250 to
125. Then by a narrow majority, 183–182, it was decided
to postpone the question of supply and to devote attention
to the employment of Catholic officers (Reresby, p. 344;
Commons' Journals, Vol. IX, p. 757). The account of this
day's debate, as sketched in Clark's Life of James II,
Vol. I, pp. 51–5, reveals the astounding fact that the
Commons were aware of the needlessness of their generosity
—that they had given the King four millions at once, that
the present income was near two millions and the charge
of Government not more than 1,300,000l. On the following
day (Nov. 14) the Grand Committee resolved to indemnify the
[Popish] officers as to the past, but to petition the King not
to maintain them in employment. But so complacent and
timid was the House still that this latter item was altered
to the form " that his Majesty would graciously be pleased
to give such directions that no apprehensions or jealousies
may remain in the hearts of his Majesty's good and faithful
subjects." After drawing up an address to the King in
the terms of these votes (Nov. 16) the Grand Committee
of the Commons sat down to the consideration of supply.
At first "200,000l. was moved to be given, then 400,000l.
by the country gentlemen. The counties [by the mouth
of Sir John Ernie, Chancellor of the Exchequer] insisted
upon 1,200,000l. for paying the new raised Forces for
five years. The House would not hear of that use for the
money, lest it might prove an establishment of a standing
Army; but would give it to the King to be employed as he
thought fit [that is without mentioning the Forces, the
service for which the money was intended: and so avoiding
the semblance of giving a Parliamentary sanction to a
standing Army]. At the last 700,000l. was named and
granted to the King. In this debate the usefulness of a
standing Army (till the rebellion or rather the ferment of
it was perfectly quieted) was much insisted upon on one
side; the danger of it and the inconveniences (especially
considering the unruliness and insolence of soldiers, their
ill example in the country and the burthen of free quarters)
on the other. But all this was compromised in the declared
intention of the House to make the Militia more useful,
until which time it was agreed as a thing necessary that
the Army ought to be kept up" (Commons Journals,
Vol. IX, p. 758; Reresby, p, 346).
Accordingly on the morning of the following day, Nov. 17,
the Commons went into Committee of Supply to decide
on what funds to raise this sum of 700,000l. It was decided
in the main to raise it by 400,000l. on East India and
French linens and stuffs and brandies and that the duties
already granted thereon should be prolonged for another
five years from 1690, July 1, and by 300,000l. on French
wines.
Having reached this point, the Houses adjourned to
attend the King at Whitehall for his reply to their address.
The reply was quite as injudicious and much more
ungracious than the original speech, which had stirred
distrust in the breast of the Commons, " I did not expect
such an address from this House of Commons." James
absolutely refused to recede from his position.
Still, as far as the Commons were concerned, the position
was not hopelessly lost for the King. On their reassembling
on the following day, Nov. 18, Mr. John Cooke of Derbyshire,
a gentleman of an estate of 3,000l. per an., stood up in his
place and said, " We are Englishmen and we ought not to
be frighted out of our duty by a few high words." The
House resented the words as an indecent reflection on the
King and ordered the Serjeant at Arms to conduct Cooke
to the Tower. Nay more: at the next sitting (Nov. 19)
it actually returned to the question of supply, ordered the
engrossing of the Bill on the lines abovesaid and with
the insertion of a credit clause or borrowing power clause.
Even at the last moment, therefore, the House of Commons
still showed itself servile enough to vote a large supply
without any explanation or justification as to its necessity,
without any guarantee as to its application and in the
face of a direct and deliberate affront from the King.
The Commons were, however, saved from draining the
dregs of their own servility by the spirit of the Lords.
On the same day, Nov. 19, on which the Commons had
tamely resumed discussion of supply the Lords had taken
up the consideration of the King's speech and of the
employment of Popish officers. The debate was very
warm and the King, who was present, as usual with him,
was much concerned at the plainness of speech employed
in it. The debate was adjourned until the following
Monday (Nov. 23) and all the Lords in and about town
were ordered to attend then under penalty. There is no
doubt that the opposition was urged on by Louis XIV
from a fear of the military force which James was developing
and from a consequent wish to stir up domestic strife
again in England. But James intervened. Rather than
undergo the humiliation of a hostile vote in the Lords
he preferred to sacrifice the supply of 700,000l. which was
already nearly perfected for him. On the following day,
Nov. 20, he prorogued the Parliament and it never sat
again. By five successive prorogations it was continued
until 1687, Nov. 22, and it was finally dissolved on the
2nd July, 1687 (Lords' Journals, Vol. XIV, p. 88; Dalrymple,
Vol. I, p. 87).
As far as English monetary legislation or grants of
supply is concerned, there is probably nowhere in our
history a more ludicrous instance of complacent subservience
to the Court than is revealed in the above rapid sketch
of the financial dealings between James and his only
Parliament. Without the King's confiding in them at all,
without his submitting an estimate to them, without the
slightest justification for any or for all of his demands,
the Commons met his wishes, voted supply in inconsidered
and precipitate haste, exacted no guarantee as to the
application of the money, inserted no appropriation clause,
nor ever raised the question of accountability.
Such was the price which England paid for the reaction
from the Popish Plot.
Before turning to the investigation of the figures of
the revenue enjoyed by James II as a result of the above
detailed legislation, and before describing the uses to
which he applied that revenue, it is necessary to characterise
the part he played in this Parliamentary transaction.
For had the Commons known the extent of his duplicity
they would not have been so servile and so precipitate in
their grants to him.
On Feb. 18 [=18/8], two days after his accession, he
sent Rochester to Barillon to explain that he would be
dependent on the French King's subsidies and that he
hoped for his help in order to be independent of Parliament
—help which he said would engage him still more not to
depart from the road which he used to think Charles II
should have kept with regard to France. Before he heard
of this request Louis had already sent a present of 500,000
livres [40,640l. sterling] to James through his Ambassador
Barillon. James's expressions of gratitude were unkingly in
their fulsomeness. But this donation only whetted the English
King's appetite. He sent (Feb. 24/14) Rochester, Sunderland and
Godolphin to Barillon to represent the necessity of his,
James's, affairs and how much it imported him to receive
supplies in the beginning of his reign. In the interview,
Rochester appears to have aimed at obtaining a promise of
renewal of the subsidy of 2,000,000 livres or 1,500,000 livres
which Louis XIV had promised to Charles II in the last years
of his reign. Failing to obtain any satisfactory assurance,
James sent Lord Churchill to Paris (Feb. 17/27) to request
from Louis a present and considerable supply, and when
Churchill failed, the King and his three ministers turned
again upon Barillon (Mar. 10–15).
Our interest in this diplomatic wrangle lies not so much
in the matter of the subsidy as in the revelation it throws
upon the working of James's mind. It was represented
to Barillon that a subvention from Louis was absolutely
essential to enable him to meet his Parliament with firmness, and to resist the imposition of any conditions
prejudicial to his authority which would undoubtedly
be proposed when the House came to renew the grant of
Charles II's revenue—especially any condition of time
limit if there should be a disposition to grant the Customs
etc. only for a year or for a certain period instead of for
the King's life. Such a condition the King would resent
so deeply that he would be prepared to break the Parliament and maintain himself by force in the enjoyment of
the hereditary revenue; and in order to this James looked
for a subsidy from Louis, and so on and so on. Thus spake
James through his ministers when he addressed Barillon.
When, a week later, he met the newly elected Parliament
he addressed them as follows:—" I cannot doubt that I
shall fail of suitable returns from you with all imaginable
duty and kindness on your part and particularly in what
relates to the settling of my revenue and continuing it
during my life as it was in the time of the King my brother.
I might use many arguments to enforce this demand,
from the benefit of trade, the support of the Navy, the
necessity of the Crown and the well-being of the Government
itself which I must suffer not to be precarious. But I
am confident your own consideration of what is just and
reasonable will suggest to you whatsoever might be enlarged
upon this occasion. There is one popular argument which
I foresee may be used against what I ask of you from the
inclination men have for frequent Parliaments; which
some may think would be the best secured by feeding me
from time to time by such proportions as they shall think
convenient. And this argument, it being the first time
I speak to you from the throne, I will answer once for all;
that this would be a very improper method to take with
me and that the best way to engage me to meet you often
is always to use me well. I expect, therefore, that you
will comply with me in what I have desired and that you
will do it speedily."
If the Commons showed no resentment of these extraordinary words, if they complied with servile alacrity in
carrying out the King's wishes beyond even his expectations,
it was only because they had not fathomed the depths of
his duplicity and of his unfitness for rule. They did not
know what he had said to Barillon.
It remains now to see what James's revenue was and
what use he put it to.
In estimating his revenue we have two parallel sources
of information which are set out in full in the following
pages: the one source derived from the Exchequer
Declarations gives in effect the net revenue: the other
source, compiled by William Lowndes, gives both the
gross and net revenue. There is in existence a third
computation which was made for the Revolution Parliament in 1689. This latter statement (Commons' Journals,
Vol. X, pp. 37–8) is as follows:—

Only a close acquaintance with the forms of Exchequer
accounting will enable a proper use to be made of the
above last two preceding tables (which are of course similar
in form and in origin to the tables of revenue and expenditure
consistently printed throughout in the introductions to the
successive volumes of the present Calendar). Certain forms
or items of revenue never reached the Exchequer at all,
being arrested half way and diverted into issues or payments
by means of tallies of anticipations. Also the payments
into the Exchequer from the Customs and Excise and
Hearthmoney represent not only net receipts (that is after
deducting salaries and expenses of management), but
even represent those net receipts still further diminished
by tallies of pro. For instance, certain annuities (to the
Duke of York, to the Queen Dowager and the bankers'
debt interest) were paid at the Excise Office by tallies of
pro or assignation and these payments should be added
to the total Exchequer receipts in calculating the full
actual yield or receipt from the Excise. And so for the
Customs etc. It is very fortunate that for the whole of
the reign of James II we possess a quite independent
contemporary computation of the revenue. This was
made by William Lowndes, who during this period was a
Treasury clerk, but subsequently became Secretary to
the Treasury. He is well known for his Essay for the
amendment of the silver coin 1695 etc., and was manifestly
a master of national finance.
For some purpose which is not yet clear, Lowndes
compiled a yearly account of the revenue and expenditure
from 1679 onwards, and after an eventful history the
manuscripts containing these valuable accounts now repose
safely in the Bodleian. On account of the fact that they
represent quite a different statement and method of computing the national revenue, they are here printed in
abstract for the period covered by the present volume.
It will be noticed that under each head of Departmental
revenue Lowndes gives (1) the cash balance in hand at
the opening of each half year; (2) the receipts classified
according to the respective accounts or years or half years
to which they belonged It is therefore abundantly clear
that he must have had access to the books of each of these
Departments, for this information and classification could
not have been drawn from the Weekly Certificates or
from the half yearly Declarations It is this fact which
gives such value to these statements by Lowndes, for
some of the material on which they were based is no longer
existent These statements, for James II's reign, are as
follows:—
Mich, 1684, to 6 Feb, 1684–5, under Treasury Lords,
and
6 Feb, 1684–5, to Lady day, 1685, under Treasurer Rochester

The above tables of expenditure speak for themselves,
and in doing so they afford the moral justification of the
revolution of 1688. They show that the greater part of
the additional revenue which James enjoyed was spent
on the Army. In view of the statements which are widely
made as to James's solicitude for the Navy and in view
of James's own language on the subject when addressing
his Parliament, we should have expected that whatever
excess of revenue he received over and above that enjoyed
by Charles II he would have spent on the Navy. The
above tables do not bear out this idea at all.
It would be difficult to average Charles's naval expenditure, but roughly for the whole reign I should put it down
at 400,000l. per an. James's expenditure on this head
averages a little more, but not much.
On the other hand, James's expenditure on his Army
shows an enormous increase. Charles's normal establishment for the Forces (Guards and Garrisons) was about
200,000l. per an.; James's establishment averages over
530,000l. per an. even excluding the last half year (1688,
Mich., to 1699, Easter). The almost stereotyped composition of the Land Forces under Charles (it will be
understood, of course, that I am speaking only of the
English establishment) was three Troops of Guards, one
Regiment of Horse Guards, one Troop of Dragoons and
four Regiments of Foot Guards—in all not quite 4,500
men, not including officers. The garrisons numbered
normally in all about 1,500 men. The total force, therefore,
for both Guards and Garrisons was 6,000 men plus officers.
This standing Army Charles never increased. The
expeditionary Forces new raised for the intended war
with the French King were raised by direct Parliamentary
sanction and were disbanded in accordance with Parliamentary desires. The only apparent increase in the
standing Army under Charles took place in the last year
of his life, and this was not a real increase, but nominal
only. It consisted simply in taking on to the English
establishment the returning Garrison of Tangier when
Tangier was abandoned (see the Introduction to the
preceding Vol. VII of this Calendar, pp. lxvii-lxviii). These
Tangier Regiments had been previously on the Irish
establishment.
It is therefore an absolute fact that Charles never in his
reign increased the standing Army.
Under James, however, an enormous increase took place.
The full details of the increase will be found set out supra,
pp. lxv seq. The increase consisted ultimately of a
Fourth Troop of Guards, eight Regiments of Horse, twelve
Regiments of Foot, three Regiments of Dragoons and
fourteen Independent Companies of Grenadiers. At a
very reasonable estimate James more than trebled Charles's
standing Army. The pretext for the increase was of
course furnished by Monmouth's rebellion, but the speciousness of that pretext need hardly be pointed out, for the
greater part of the increase took place after the rebellion
was over. In James's hands this disproportionate Land
Force was a menace not to France but to the liberties of
England, and what the Revolution of 1688 accomplished
was simply the inversion of these terms. The increased
Army which James had raised was not disbanded in 1689.
By the harmonious action of William III and the Parliament the increased Army was maintained and was simply
made a menace to France and thereby a protection to the
liberties of England. A careful study of the details of
James's Army increase will show how efficiently though
unintentionally he had prepared the ground or the
machinery for the greater Army of William's campaigns
and how enormously he thereby facilitated the establishment of William's Government by the elimination of
such Parliamentary friction as would certainly have
arisen over a new or de novo increase of the standing
Forces.
