Originally published in 1920, this book contains the annotated account book of Sarah Fell, the step-daughter of George Fox, the founder of Quakerism. Fell kept the family accounts in this book from 1673 to 1678, and the result is an interesting look into the economy of a gentleman's household immediately following the Restoration, as well as evidence of the role played by women in household management. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in daily life in the late seventeenth century.
