The book contains the full accounts of the farming house- 

 hold, every expense, even the smallest, being noted down, and 

 every receipt of money; balances are struck every month or 

 two, and many items of interest are added. I have taken down 

 all the entries for a farming year, October 1723 to October 

 1724, and have added up the figures, and have thus formed 

 what may be taken as a scrupulously accurate balance-sheet 

 of a Derbyshire farmer for that date. The figures are sub- 

 joined in the form of a profit and loss account, and I have 

 added explanatory notes, whenever it seemed that a little local 

 knowledge might add to the interest of the statement.
