Account book of Thomas Mort

A closely written, extensive and detailed volume recording Thomas Mort's expenditures on virtually every aspect of his life: food, other provisions, clothing and accessories, household furnishings and repairs, servants' wages, tips, book purchases (both for his own library at Dam House and nearly 250 theological works for the vicarage at Astley), gifts to a large family and to the local poor, other charitable donations (especially for local churches and churchmen). The explanations are so meticulously detailed that the volume takes on the character of a diary for Mort and his family and neighbors and for the everyday life of a local community.
