Manuscripts relating to business, finance, and economics from the Foxwell collection, 1365-1916 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/269602806

A composite collection of manuscripts collected by Herbert Somerton Foxwell relating mainly to Great Britain. Most of the documents are legal or financial in nature--receipts, deeds, orders, bills, tax rolls, etc., some in the name of individuals, and others issued by government bodies. Most have no particular relation to each other, but are useful in documenting changing legal and business transactions over the centuries. Includes letters, 1696-1697, from Lord Ranelagh, paymaster-general of the army to William Blathwayt, secretary for war; an account of customs collections, 1763-1775; documents showing excise assessments on wool and other products, 1677-1693; and transcripts of reports, 1696-1699, on the Irish woolen industry.
