This account book of a small yeoman farmer in Lancashire, running
from 1724 (just after his marriage) to his death in 1767, provides
a record of expenditure on domestic, personal, and farming items.
It is unique in offering a detailed view of household life and
domestic economy in a stratum of society from which very few
documents of any sort have survived. Shedding light on the informal
economy of the locality, entries cover payment for services,
clothing, household goods, seeds, farming equipment, servants,
medical expenses, books and education. A computer-generated
concordance provides a comprehensive listing of all references
likely to be of interest to historians.
