[Hall document] Legacy
Receipt
This tiny document signed by Stephen Hall in 1641, is his receipt for a
legacy of 'Fortie pounds of good & lawful English Money' left to him in
the will of George Cotes of Nottingham. It is in manuscript on a small
piece [approx 6"x3"] of parchment. At one time this appears to have been
pasted into a commonplace book or album but it has been detached and there are
traces of glue and the page or sheet of paper to which it was formerly attached.

A S Buxton, 1932. 4to in buff card covers, 98pp, 18 ills inc several in
colour. A reminder of life around the time of 1823 Manfield Improvement Act. This copy has
several faults, most noticeably the broken binding at p14 and the cracked binding at p46
& p78. The card covers are very grubby and worn, the top & tail of the spine
particularly so. The contents are nice and clean, though. Scarce. (ref 7396) £16.00
