(forty innumber) on subjects chiefly theological and historical. He was very methodical in hismanner of life, as proved by the numerous memoranda crowded into the fly-leaves of hissmall pocket almanacs, giving the minutest particulars relating to his crops; how he dis-posed of his wheat, barley, oats, &c.; his household expenses; the cost of his sonStephens education at Cambridge; regular gifts at Christmas, the Fair, &c.; to themembers of his family, his domestics, the Parson, Schoolmaster, the poor; &c.
