184897631848. Full Leather. Good binding. 5-1/4" x 3-3/8." 108 pp. Full brown leather over flexible boards. Vertical red rules for accounting printed on each page. 1-3/8" strip of leather neatly removed from the fore-edge of the front cover; occasional ink spotting and minor stains throughout; toned leaves with a few creases; faded pencil calculations to pastedowns. <br /> <br /> Interesting mid-19th century farm ledger apparently from eastern Scotland possibly Inverurie or Aberdeen recorded during the great famines in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. The currency symbols at the top of the expense and income columns appear to be in pounds shilling and pence and various place and personal names which appear repeatedly in the text – i.e. Commercial Co. of Port Elfinston sic Aberdeen Wm. Duncan et al – lead to our deducing this locale. Although the ledger is anonymous the names of Robert Frasier Brach and James Dugard appear possibly as business clients as do the names of the recorder's many temporary workers. These workers usually hired around the planting and harvesting season are both male and female and include Mary Ellice Jas Marr George Dugard Wm. Duncan Alex Burr and many others. <br /> <br /> Extensively detailed and highly readable this ledger document the many expenses and income sources of a working farm showing precise amounts for equipment scythes and carts feature prominently horses bolls of meal barrels of lime whisky and various other sundries. The farm's produce relied heavily on grains especially corn and barley just as the Corn Laws were being heatedly debated in Parliament and its overall diversity demonstrates the crop diversity that allowed eastern Scotland and the Lowlands to evade the ravages of the potato blight; plots and crops for planting the "slack land" are also demarcated. Charts showing daily employee wages are also of special note. <br /> <br /> Overall a unique useful and well-maintained agricultural document concurrent with and standing in stark contrast to the devastation occurring in the western portion of the country and Ireland at that time. unknown

181058537<p>broadside 24.7 x 20.8 cms. drop head title as above below that the names of 45 clans and their badges in two columns imprint at foot all inside an attractive double-twist black and white decorative border apparently once pasted on the rear presumably into an album and a few trifling patches of damage and a short closed tear no loss tear from being lifted but overall very good. Attractive. Very rare.</p><p>The only copy located is in National Library of Scotland. Although without place of printing or date the imprint "R. Menzies Printer" was used by the Edinburgh firm of that name between about 1810 and 1820.<br />For each clan is given its name and its wild plant badge. Below the tabel is printed "The Chief of each respective Clan to wear two Eagles Feathers in his Bonnet in addition to the Distinguishing badge of his Clan". This might seem to indicate that this was printed for a particular event possibly a part of the visit of the King to Scotland organized by Sir Walter Scott in 1822.</p> R. Menzies, Printer
