English Georgian manuscript account ledger recording the sale of timber (Devon, 1767), bound in parchment cut from an indenture from the reign of Queen Anne (1707).

Duodecimo (168 x 107 mm), stitched “binder’s waste” parchment wrappers with manuscript in ink to front ‘Acct. of A Lot of Timber sold to Messrs. Haviland, Ayles, & Newel – 125 Trees – measured May 29th 1767‘, the verso of the parchment (i.e. the insides of the wrappers) showing part of the manuscript of an indenture from the reign of Queen Anne dated 1707; the accounting ledger occupying 15 pages, neatly ruled up in pencil and with entries in ink in five columns recording number of limbs, length, girth, “contents”, and date measured; clean and legible; an old note in pencil inside the front wrapper attributes the provenance of the ledger to the ‘Bragge family, Devon’.
