SIR EDWARD DERING'S¹ HOUSEHOLD BOOK, A.D. 1648-52.

About ten years since, I remember seeing, inthe hands of a London bookseller, a curious MS.purporting to be the "Household Book of Receiptsand Expences of Sir Edward Dering, Bart., ofSurrenden Dering, Kent, from Lady-Day, 1648, toApril, 1652." It was a think folio, in the originalbinding, entirely in the hand-writing of the distinguishedbaronet.

Sir Edward was the only son of Sir EdwardDering, the first baronet, by his second wife,Anne, daughter of Sir John Ashburnham, ofAshburnham, Sussex, Knt. He succeeded to thebaronetcy upon the death of his father, in 1644,and married Mary, daughter of Daniel Harvey,Esq., of Combe, Surrey, who was brother of thefamous Dr. Harvey, the discoverer of the circulationsof the blood.
