Item description from seller

Early Nineteenth-Century Manuscript Account Book of Pennsylvania Lawyers [Manuscript]. [Barnard, James (1755-1806)]. [Barnard, Isaac D. (1791-1834)]. [Barnard, Thomas D. (1793-1873)]. [Acct. of Money Recd. for the Estate of James Barnard, Esq. Decd. in the Office, Etc.][And][Acct. of Money Recd. by Isaac D. Barnard Belonging to His Late Father's Estate]. Chester, PA, February, 26 1806-August 22, 1845. Content in fine hand filling 23 pp. followed by several blank leaves, final six excised. Oblong octavo (8" x 5-1/2"). Stiff marbled sewn wrappers. Moderate rubbing to exterior, some wear to spine and corners, light toning to interior. $500. * James Barnard of Chester, Pennsylvania, was married to Susannah Dutton.

The first segment records all the monies collected for various legal work performed by Isaac's older brother, James: recording judgments, estate administration, vendue matters, certificates for naturalization of citizenship, or fees earned for specific cases (Gibbons v. Riley, Miles v. Adams, McElroy v. Hibbard, etc.). These accounts span 1806-1807, suggesting that the fees within were collected posthumously by Isaac for services performed before his brother's death. The notebook's second segment records monies earned by the father in office, primarily for recording deeds. Again, the chronology suggests a similar scenario to the notebook's first segment. There are also several leaves of entries with much later dates recording monies received by Thomas Barnard. All accounts are clearly legible and amounts of fees charged for all legal services are pr.…
