The binding was attached to the paper block with five thongs, one of which is now missing, and is reinforced with tacking stitches along the spine. The volume was foliated in recent times and numbers 95 leaves and three uncounted stubs between ff. 1 and 2, ff. 56 and 57, and ff. 7l and 72, taken from two stocks of paper, a gathering of smaller size having been inserted between ff. 50 and 62. The collation is: [1] [212] (-21 ) [3-416] (-41) [516] (57 + ([612] (-67)) [716] (-72) [810]. The first and last leaves seem to have served as pastedowns. The predominant paper measures 446 by 175 mm., suggesting the vellum has shrunk over the years, and has a watermark of a crowned shield resembling no. 264 in W.A.Churchill’s Watermarks in Paper (Amsterdam: Menno Hertzberger & Co., 1935). Despite some damage around the edges and a few holes, some stains and smudges, a little fading and bleed-through of the ink, the paper is in fairly good condition and the writing for the most part legible. The worst damage occurs on f. 28 where several lines have been so heavily scored through that it is now in two pieces. The inserted gathering, gathering 6, consists of twelve smaller leaves tipped in between 57 and 58 (ff. 50 and 62), measuring 388 by 159 mm. The paper is thicker and has a watermark of what appears to be a crowned eagle bearing some resemblance to no. 439 in Churchill. It is in good condition. In addition, a loose unfoliated fragment of paper measuring 142 by 150 mm. is now inserted between ff. 90v and 91r. It has a portion of a watermark showing the hind legs of a quadruped, possibly a horse or a unicorn. It is a rough list of a few sweet meats, only the last entry being in Dering’s hand. Ff. 2v, 3v, 26r, 45v, 56v, 85r to 91r, 93v to 94v, and 95v are blank. There is no obvious gap in the written record. Both the vellum cover and the paper of the volume have a horizontal crease in the centre, most noticeable at the front of the volume. The pages are ruled into six columns in red ink: the first on the left is for the month and day, the second for the entry; the four narrow ones on the right are respectively headed ‘li’’ or occasionally ‘Li’’, ‘s’, ‘d’ and, at the beginning of the volume, ‘ob’’. With a few exceptions, Dering heads each page with the year and the number of the quarter or half year. He usually leaves a sizeable blank space at the end of each full year. Dering wrote a mixed hand, using both secretary and italic forms; he preferred the italic hand for names. Dering’s accounting methods This volume of his expenses seems to be Dering’s fair copy. Once he refers to his other book of expenses for more details (4v), once to the purchase of ‘3 bookes for expences, whereof this is one’ for 7s. 6d. (6v). There are some deletions and corrections, especially when he is adding up sums of money, but on the whole the volume gives the appearance of being his most up-to-date copy. It incorporates the expenses his father, or brothers, or servants incurred on his behalf. These are copied in in a block and bracketed together. He starts by entering his various expenses on a quarterly basis in January 1618/19 (4r), giving the total of each quarter’s expenses at the end of each quarter. In keeping with the usage of the time Dering uses the Julian calendar: the first quarter begins on 25 March (Lady Day), which he once refers to as ‘our Lady day of old’ (59v), the second quarter on 24 June (Midsummer’s Day), the third on 29 September (Michaelmas) and the fourth on 1 January (New Year’s Day). He does not start to include the month and day when particular payments were made until December 1619 after his marriage (7r). On 25 March 1620 (8r) he switches to a half yearly basis to enter his accounts, the first half beginning on 25 March and the second on 29 September. This is the pattern he follows for the rest of the volume. He gives the total of the expenses entered on a page at the foot of that page, the total spent in a half year at the end of each half year, and the total spent in a full year at the end of each full year. Sometimes he gives the total cost of bracketed items or of items comprised in making, for example, a coat. Near the beginning of the volume (3r) he notes each year’s total from 1618 to 1626/27, but not that for 1627 to 1627/28 even though the Booke of Expences stops at the end of this year. The entries are generally entered chronologically though one cannot assume that the date of the entry is the date the item was purchased. The date given can be the date of the reckoning as he clearly states in the entry for 28 November 1623: ‘supper yesternight and dinner too day’ 3s. 4d. (34r), and as is evident when certain payments incurred in one half year are paid in the next half year (see for example 62r). One year Dering tried a different method of keeping his accounts. From March 1625 to March 1626 he decided to divide his expenses into two categories, Household Expenses (46r-50v, 62r) and Foreign Payments (51r-56r). The latter begin on the first leaf of the inserted gathering. In this year, consequently, there are two sets of expenses, Household Expenses for the first half year and the second half year being followed by Foreign Payments for the first half year and the second half year. On the last two pages for this year (56r and 57r, 56v is blank) Dering catches up on his book-keeping and enters expenses from both categories, all apparently incurred earlier in that year. He gives the total sum of each category at the end of the year as well as the total of both categories for the whole year (56r). Editorial conventions The manuscript has been transcribed as literally as possible with certain exceptions. Capital letters, spelling and punctuation, though not diphthongs, have been kept. This includes the long ‘i’, which Dering very occasionally uses within a word and which has been transcribed as a ‘j’, and the sign which looks to the modern eye like an equal sign, ‘=’, though this sign has been ignored when it is used in a word break that is not needed in the transcription. Superior letters have been silently lowered except in the case of sums of money denoting pounds, shillings and pence when superior ‘li’’, ‘s’ and ‘d’ have been kept and, the few times they occur, in Latin ordinals as ‘1mo’ (57v). Common abbreviations like ‘It’’ for ‘Item’, ‘mr’ for ‘master’, ‘yt’ for ‘yat’ (that), ‘pd’ for ‘paid’, and ‘p’ with a horizontal line through the stem standing for ‘per’, have been silently expanded. However, when Dering uses such a ‘p’ as a regular ‘p’ as he often does the horizontal line through the stem has been ignored, as in ‘passe’ (9r) and in ‘supp’ (34r). Abbreviations for Christian names, names of the months and days have also been silently expanded. Less common abbreviations have had the missing letters added within square brackets. Certain abbreviations for weights and various measures have been retained, an apostrophe taking the place of the mark of abbreviation whatever the one used. Thus ‘ob’’ stands for obolus (halfpenny), ‘bb’’ or ‘bush’’ for ‘bushel’, ‘dim’’ for ‘dimidium’ (half), ‘yd’’ for ‘yard’, ‘qrter’’, or occasionally ‘qter’’, for ‘quarter’, and ‘qrts’’ or ‘qrtes’’ for ‘quartes’. In the case of ‘qr’’ it may denote ‘quadrans’ (farthing) or ‘quire’. When it stands for ‘quire’ it has been expanded as ‘q[ui]r[e]’. In the case of two potentially confusing measurements this means that ‘7 li’’ stands for 7 lb avoirdupois, and ‘7 li’’ for £7 sterling, while ‘2 d’ when used to indicate the weight of a nail stands for 2 penny[weight], and ‘2d ’ for 2 pence in money. ‘Viz.’, ‘&’, ‘&c’ and ‘dd’’ (here often standing for ‘delivered’) have been kept. No attempt has been made to distinguish between Dering’s mixed secretary and italic hand, and his italic hand. It is not always easy to be sure about the actual spelling of a word or about a mark of punctuation, nor whether a letter is a capital or not. In the case of some initial double ‘f’s written in italic it is difficult to know whether he was writing ‘FF’ or ‘ff’. I have chosen the latter interpretation. ‘1’s and ‘2’s, ‘d’s and ‘e’s can also be confusing. Editorial emendations have been placed within square brackets. A question mark in parentheses has been added after a doubtful reading. Broken brackets enclose deletions, a question mark being added if the reading is uncertain. Hyphens indicate illegible letters, words or numbers. Corrected letters have usually been ignored. A caret on either side of a letter or word shows that the letter or word was inserted. Marginal marks have been reproduced or approximated if possible but not most of the pencil dashes in the first column that seem to have been added relatively recently, often to draw attention to entries about books and plays; a few in pencil that may have been added by Dering have been noted (e.g. 57v). The horizontal line drawn between the last word of an entry and the corresponding sum of money has been ignored, except toward the beginning of the manuscript where it is sometimes crossed and here indicated by a plus sign. These seem to highlight expenses relating to his wife and to tips and ‘givens’. Bracketed lines have been indicated by using a small bracket at the beginning and/or end of each line bracketed. In several cases Dering uses pencil for his brackets as on ff. 51v and 55r. Folio numbers and the few textual notes have been added in bold type within square brackets. Note of caution when using the search feature in this on-line edition Spelling was not static in Dering’s day and consequently may appear erratic to the modern eye. Anyone wishing, for example, to look up references to people, places and objects in this literatim transcription, whose spelling may also incorporate Dering’s corrections, must bear this in mind. Thus ‘diamond’ appears as ‘diuamond’, ‘greyhound’ as ‘greewhound’, ‘farthingale’ in its variant form ‘vertingale’, ‘hasp’ as ‘hapse’, ‘haps’ or ‘happes’, ‘sieve’ as ‘siue’, ‘suet’ as ‘suite’ or ‘sewitt’, ‘tweezers’ as ‘twizes’ or ‘etwizes’, and so on. The references to ‘master Dawes’ and ‘maaster DEaues(?)’ probably both refer to Simon D’Ewes who was knighted shortly after the date of the second entry. 1 [Transcription of Sir Edward Dering’s Booke of Expences, U350 E4, Centre for Kentish Studies] [f.1] [stub] [f.2r] A Booke of expences from ye yeare 1619.
