Footnotes
This handsome volume was clearly kept by or for a senior member of 'Butcher' Cumberland's staff: for example on the first page, he records "My Salary" as being £250 (the same as that received by the Prince's Comptroller General), while "My Clerks" receive £55. He also received £17-7-9¾ for "my Coynage fees" and £15-1-7¼ for the same "on Spirits". One candidate could be Sir Everard Fawkener, the friend of Voltaire, who was at this time serving as Cumberland's secretary. The volume however is not in his handwriting. But, being substantially in the same contemporary hand throughout and written without obvious breaks, it could well be a fair copy taken from the original, such as would have been made for office or audit use. On the inner upper cover a note is entered for 12 sheets of medium quarto paper, above the name of Mrs Piggott.
