A very scarce copy of this comprehensive work on the royal treasury and various exchequers across England and Ireland. Exceedingly rare. Last seen at auction over a hundred years ago in 1894. An historic account of the exchequer of England and the revenue, with reference to the officers of the Court of Exchequer. As well as the treasury and exchequer of Ireland, with chapters on the abolition of the offices of Vice-Treasurer and Teller. Includes a brief history of the treasury and the division of the business. Written by F. S. Thomas. Bound in full cloth. Externally, sound with rubbing and light bumping to the extremities. Fading to the spine and the edges of the boards. The odd mark to the board. Splits to the joints resulting in light fraying of the cloth. Library sticker to the tail of the spine. Hinges starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with the odd handling mark. Library bookplate to the front pastedown. Ink inscriptions to the front endpaper. Good.
