January 1759 to the 27th. of the same Month following, both ... inclusive, on the Death of the Princess of Orange.' Leaf 59 is blank and followed by three blank leaves ruled for entries. Volume two covers the period 22 September 1760 to 5 September 1761. There are 69 unnumbered leaves with accounts, followed by 13 unnumbered blank leaves ruled for entries.
