Account, apparently by John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire, of his period of office as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with extracts from his correspondence., 1777-1780.
The collection consists of manuscripts on a wide variety of subjects, many copied from manuscript or printed works, and chiefly dating from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Among them are some account-books, diaries, and other manuscripts of family interest (including a few concerning the 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire, father of the 6th Marchioness of Lothian), but very few letters.
Account book, 'Gg', of Andrew Fletcher, Lord Milton, with extracts from Columella, 'De re rustica', i.1, accounts 1746-1746, 1754-1755 and memoranda, 1755., 1746-1755.
No completely logical arrangement of these books is possible, due to multiple use of the same book, to the existence of the same accounts in draft and final form, and to the fact that in his old age Lord Milton repeatedly revised and extracted old accounts. The basic division into ledgers and other books (subdivided by size) goes back to him. Most are in his own hand, a few (in whole or in part) in those of his clerks. Personal, estate, and professional matters are all included.
