Beschreibung

A very scarce parliamentary report in which the appointed commissioners report on the state of charities in Somerset. An extract from the Report of the Commissioners for Inquiring Charities for Somerset. The duties of the Commissioners were to examine and investigate the state of charities, and to make suggestions and recommendations on administrative improvements, as well as smoothing out irregularities. By the Charity Estates Act in 1819, they were also able to recommend a particular charity to the Attorney General if the commissioners detects any misconduct or mismanagement in a trust. The present volume is an parliamentary paper in which the commissioners were required to report on their investigations, and includes sections on Frome, Wells, Shepton Mallet, with the first page of the report for Surrey to the rear. Rebound in grey paper wraps. Externally, generally smart. With five closed tears to the fore edge of the front wrap, and some edgewear to the extremities. There is a two-inch tear in the wrap from the head of the spine down the front joint. The spine is missing a slither of wrap to the tail of the spine, and a little more to the head. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are remarkably bright and clean. Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 864N22
