William Buckland letter to John Stevens Henslow

Manuscripts

In this four-page handwritten letter, Buckland talks about an excavation in Ely, Cambridgeshire. Henslow was working on it at the time but Buckland also knew the site. Buckland goes into detail about the strata of the "Great Gault Pit," and sketched the pit for Henslow (in pencil, with labels in ink). Buckland also talks about other geology issues as well as a skeleton of a megatherium (an ancient giant sloth) that Henslow found.

Robert Bristow plantation ledger, (bulk 1677-1707)

Manuscripts

An account book and ledger from British merchant Robert Bristow's plantation, house, and stores in Lancaster and Gloucester Counties in Virginia. The ledger was used by Bristow to document inventories of home goods, Bristow's personal library, debts, copies of land patents and other legal documents, and lists of indentured and enslaved laborers; also included in the ledger are lists of his shares in Royal African Company ships. The volume is written in several hands, including Bristow's. The binding is not original but was rebound in full panelled calf from the bindery of restoration bookbinder Bernard Middleton; the volume is signed with Middleton's cypher and has his book label and a brief typed description pasted on the inside front cover.
