http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702175527

Manuscript on paper, in a single Italic hand, of a collection of lists which record fees, salaries, and annuities issued to various civil servants from 1702 to 1712, many of whom are listed by name, including those who performed "Secret Service." The lists also record payments for rents and taxes, such as "Bombay Rent," "Virginia Quit Rent," and "Wine Lycences," and documents the sales and loans of tin every year. An entry in 1712 notes the payment made to William Penn "for the Surrener of Pensilvania to her Majestie." Followed by a page of memoranda explaining discrepancies between receipts and issues.
