The Exchequer was responsible for receiving and dispersing the public revenue. The lower Exchequer, or receipt, closely connected with the permanent Treasury, was an office for the receipt and payment of money. The upper Exchequer was a court sitting twice a year to regulate accounts. The business of the ancient Exchequer was mainly financial, though some judicial business connected with accounts was also conducted.

This manuscript contains the bookplate of William Bromley (1664-1732).

Bought by Herbert Somerton Foxwell from F C Carter, Hornsey, in 1912, and became part of the Goldsmith's Library of Economic Literature, initially collected by Foxwell and presented by the Goldsmith's Company to the University of London in 1903.

Manuscript volume, 1660-1702, containing transcripts of briefs, patents and commissions relating to the Exchequer, from the reign of King Charles II to the beginning of the reign of Queen Anne, with descriptions of offices within the Exchequer. There is a possibility that this manuscript was compiled by William Bromley.
