15 pp, narrow folio (14.5 x 38 cm), in the remains of a volume which has been reused and cut up (see below).

Substantial sums are spent, with a couple of accounts totaling around £40, and one containing about fifty items. A great number of other pages of the volume have been cut out, and the eight surviving leaves of accounts are followed by one complete leaf and three parts of leaves, on which the semi-literate family of John Smith, whose signature is on the back cover, has recorded births and other family events between 1772 and 1821. The first entry reads 'Joseph Smith Build [sic] my House In the Year of our Lord 1772 Paid Mr. Ford For Bricks 16 Thousand At 18 Shillings Per Thousand £8 18s 0d Flour Bricks £1 1s 0d In Total All £40 0s 0d'.
