Absolutely
stunning old handwritten Diary Dating from 1777, the title page ascribes this
lovely book to a John Shephard Born Jany 24th 1756. The diary measures 4 x 5.5 inches, it has
65 pages, they are watermarked with red lines on sides, as in an account ledger.Cover appears to be leather covered but its hard to tell for sure. Approx half the pages are
written on 43 pages have dated accounts and detailed breakdown of day to day
costs, for example in the entry for: May 10th 1778 A piece of silk for breeches......1.1.0 June
8th At
the sailing match .................. 2.0 June
25th Mrs
Hales Coachman ................1.4 also
numerous entries for waistcoats, gloves, silk stockings, buckles, spurs, scabbard,dinner at Taphouse,
White Hart, also references to Addenbroke, Chelsea,
Crippelgate,plus a list of books, including Dr
Johnson Lives of the Poets. Also there are 24 pages of very closely written
text, it appears to be thoughts and remarks by the author, including a
numbered list of improvements to character and ways to behave. This
is such an interesting account of life 230 years ago, it would appear the
author was quite wealthy and well read, and led a cultured life in London.
There are numerous names mentioned as well as place names and dates,
therefore it would be possible to conduct research that shed light on the
author and his life. A really fantastic find for any historian who
specialises in this period of English life. I have been really entranced by
it, I find the beautiful copperplate quite hard to decipher in places but it
gets easier the more I have looked at it. Condition is very good antique, all
pages are intact and clean with only very light age marking is a few place, nothing that detracts from this beautiful book.
Cover is intact and worn on edges. From the images a Miss Marsh and a Mr Buknell at Yialing (Ealing?) are mentioned. |

of your sorrow than of your resignation - your son & ours are now
rejoicing together, & waiting for their parents to join them in the New
Song, which shall never end", commenting on various people visiting them
including, Mr Townsend, Miss Johnson & Miss Caley
who "talks a little too much for me: but is an excellent soul", his

living. I can only pray, that either he may live in
God, or die innocent. I believe no child of mine will ever live to be wicked",

Five years at least have elapsed since Daniel's friend's last part of
Volume 12 was published and more than six years must pass before the work
will be copleted.
the plates he requires will be produced in
the numbers subsequent to those he possesses. 7 or 8 of those plates are
among the Volumes 13, 14, 15, 16 - I would have purchased these but as Daniel
writes with the belief that the work is finished I think it right to wait for
more positive instructions before I expend eight Guineas for him and involve
him further expense of at least Twenty Guineas more to complete a work which
some of the subjects are already treated under opinions which are
obsolete...", etc. Has been
folded and has written on the top "Extract sent to D W P Britania May 1824". |

numerous pieces of land all in Brant Broughton, Lincoln. Details regarding
past and present occupants are given along with numerous field names. The

is an additional indenture on the reverse dated 1845 referring to the sale of

An
1844 indenture regarding the assignment of a house and land in the parish of
Saint Leonard Shoreditch, Middlesex. The parties
involved are Henry James Wilkins of Aldgate High
Street, London and Elizabeth his wife on the first part, Peter Henry Pidgeon of Highstreet,
Pawnbroker and Mary Lunson Pidgeon
Spinister, on the second part John Salt of Acton
and William Chapple pf Holborn on the third part and George Gifford of
Devonshire Place Green Lanes Newington on the fourth part. The
document recites a large part previous indenture dated 1797 between William Ditchman and Joseph Risdon where it refers to land and
the building of two new houses. These houses came into the possession of John
Lunson who assigned one of them to William Taylor
in 1835 who it turn assigned the property to George
Gifford in 1837. The other house stayed with John Lunson
who as noted in this indenture made a will dated 1824. Mr. Acton and Mr. Chapple are the executors of that will. He gave his house
to his daughter Elizabeth who in turn married James Wilkins and together they
had two children Peter and Mary Pidgeon. Now
Elizabeth is of an age where she is unlikely to have any more children. So
that now George Gifford purchases the assignment of leasehold for a sum of
£30. The
property is in Huntingdon Street. An extensive description of boundaries is
given with reference to measurements and directions as noted in the recite of
the 1797 indenture along with the name of the previous occupant as mentioned
in the current indenture. Further details are given about the persons
involved, their legal obligations and the terms of the assignment. On
one large sheet of vellum, measuring 2 feet 4 and ½ inches by 2 feet. The
document is in excellent condition. There is beautiful hand written script
throughout that is large, clear and easy to read. The duty stamp has been removed
but there are seven nice red wax seals each showing a
‘h’ and each with a signature. |
