The volume is a later re-binding, possibly of the 19th century. The contracts had been paginated, and so, presumably, bound together at an earlier date.

From the note made and signed by Taylor White on p.207, and the endorsements on pp [194] and [208], it appears likely that the papers were among the working papers of the Commissioners themselves.

It was the practice for one of the partners to travel round the country to collect payment for outstanding accounts and probably orders (for the expenses for these trips include many gratuities to gardeners).

Records of Annie Horatia Jones, daughter of Sir Horace Jones. The collection contains ten dolls' house dolls dressed by Tamazine Billings (nee Jones) in 1886 for her niece, Annie Horatia Jones, to represent members of Sir Horace Jones' family and household. The dolls' original labels have been sewn onto their clothing to identify the family member they are intended to represent. There is also a photograph album depicting family including Sir Horace Jones, portrait of Annie Horatia Jones in outfit for City of London Mansion House Juvenile Dress Ball, and family at home in Devonshire Place; her correspondence with aunts, housekeeper and friends concerning holidays, her pursuits and interests (1883-1890), a scrapbook of coloured pictures and also a pencil drawing of Tamazine Billings as a girl (circa 1831). The collection presents an insight into Sir Horace Jones' family life. The different heights of the dolls of Sir Horace Jones and Lady Ann Elizabeth Jones and the size of dolls is thought to represent other family members demonstrates Victorian attitudes towards personal status within the family. The clothing on the dolls is also useful for looking at costume and dress during the late nineteenth century.
