Excise Officer's notebook
GB 0096 MS 707 · [1827-1860]

Manuscript notebook kept by an excise officer in service between 1827 and 1854, during which time he acted in Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, the Isle of Wight, Bristol, Southampton, Liverpool, Scotland and Ireland. The notes are of an extremely miscellaneous nature, mostly not of a professional kind; they include cask sizes, import of tobacco and snuff, recipes, historical notes and tables, addresses, and extracts from the churchwardens' accounts of Banwell, Somerset.
