Manuscript, in a single hand, of a collection of accounts of public revenue, loans, grants, and payments from 1689 to 1846, organized by year. The early years are represented in two parts: monetary grants and appropriations made by Parliament, and "A state of what was demanded and Granted for the Service of the Army & Navy" that year, while the years from 1698-1746 are represented by much fuller details of Parliamentary decisions regarding public funds. An entry in 1703, for example, notes the "Charge of Alliances with the King of Portugal this year;" entries in 1738 grant money "towards maintaining the Forts & Settlements of the Royal African Company on the Coast of Africa" and "towards establishing the Colony of Georgia in America;" and an entry in 1739 awards money to "Mrs. Stevens on her discovering her Medicine for the Stone."
