An early 18th century vellum ink MS commonplace book, possibly that of Henry Cheesman of Kent?, probably initially kept and inscribed by a brewer, ff: 88, another page lacking a torn away half, compiled by that same hand with various accounts, including 'Account of hops for ye year 1719' with earlier notice of drying hops and quantities of bushels; bawdy verse of a robust and licentious nature, suitable for a pleasure-loving brewer, with countless references from lofty maidens all the way down to lowly harlots, with 'The maids Lamentation' for good measure; occult and astronomical notes and some diagrams, with Sheepard's Callender (sic), a planetary table calculated for Henry Cheesman, a table 'to resolve all Lawfull (sic) Questions [...]'; diagram of a sundial; pseudo-philosophical notions, 'The age of man', dated 1713; a distance table for travelling between counties and some cities; some genealogical notes and notices contemporary with the majority of handwriting but further embellished and finalised later in the century by a different hand; the whole manuscript dated from 1719-1779, fragmentary vellum wrap covers, recto and verso pastedown applied with clipped naive woodcuts of London architectural facades, including the Tower of London, red half-penny paper duty stamp to recto pastedown also, 16mo Due to the frequency of Henry Cheesman's name appearing on countless pages throughout the notebook and further notices of the 'ins-and-outs' of other Cheesmans in the past, it would be safe to say that this notebook was more than likely the property of Henry Cheesman who seems to have been a rather interesting man - or even unique individual! The breadth of his interests reveal an inquisitive mind hungry for answers and apparently female company. Nevertheless, the domestic and family notes reveal a dutiful, practical man possibly originating from Kent. Cheesman appears to be a fairly common name in Kent, more so than in Derbyshire, and references to another Kent family - the Knatchbulls - fortify this impression.
