ACCOUNTS OF JOHN BAGSHAW OF ABNEY GRANGE. 227 



(I) The highest sums under this heading are for beef and 

 wheat. Some other entries, such as "hemp," "fiaxe," "yarn," 

 would, perhaps, come more appropriately under the next 

 heading. 



(m) It is evident that clothes are supplied through weavers 

 and tailors, who come round the country and work in the 

 houses. The entry is a constant one every year. 



(«) This includes the small sums, never larger than a shilling, 

 spent at the numerous visits to the neighbouring towns. Chapel- 

 en-le-Frith, Tideswell, Grindleford Bridge, Foolow, Eyam, 

 Hathersage, Bakewell, are all frequently visited, and once the 

 diarist has reached even as far as Doncaster. 



(0) It is pathetic to see an entry, " Musick, 3d.," each time 

 Christmas comes round. Otherwise the only signs of merri- 

 ment are the entries, " skittles, $d." " bako, 2d.," i.e., tobacco.
