File 2 - Cash Account Book

31 cm x 20 cm; 324 pp; Bound volume; Manuscript

A cash account book relating to James Pearse’s ecclesiastical sculpture business in Dublin. An annotation on the title page reads ‘Dublin, November 16th, 1877 / Cash book’. The book provides a record of routine expenditure (including travel and shipping expenses), and entries relating to cash lodged in bank accounts, ‘cash on hand’, and to payments received (particularly from various clerics and religious).

The spine binding is partially cracked and there is some general wear to the covers. The spine covering is particularly frayed. Careful manual handling is required.
