Manuscripts
A manuscript volume containing the current accounts for Francis Russell, 7th Duke of Bedford, covering the years 1850 January 1-1858 December 31, with his bank Child & Co., London, England. The volume is divided into incoming funds on versos and sums paid on rectos and in some cases very large sums of money are recorded (£ 259,431); entries include, for example, income from Covent Garden Market and payments for kitchen gardens. The entries provide insights into the life of one of England's highest ranked peers. The volume is in very good condition, with contemporary vellum covers; the pages are ruled in red with entries mainly in one hand. The covers contain the title: "His Grace / the Duke of Bedford / Current Account / From 1st Jany / To 31st Decr 1858."
