Title: Accounts of the Estate of the late Miss Henrietta Campbell, Dec[eased]
Author: [Women's Property Rights]
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: Pembrokeshire and London, 1834. Folio measuring 190 x 110mm stitched at spine and comprised of 17 manuscript pages of accounts. Compiled by Henrietta Campbell's family friend and executor Dr. Lt. General Alexander Adams, the document shows the scope of Campbell's property, her outstanding expenses related to domestic labor and healthcare, the portion of her estate that was entailed, and the division of remaining money and personal items among her three sisters Lady Campbell, Lady Gage, and Mrs. Hulton. A research rich piece, the accounts give insight into the extent to which even elite, privileged women were beholden to patriarchal property laws that restricted how they might spend or upon whom they might bestow property. A first cousin of John Campbell, 1st Baron of Cawdor, Henrietta lived in a position of relative comfort. Though she did not own any houses or lands, her accounts show rent on a home at Manorbier Newton in Pembrokeshire near the Cawdor seat as well as lodgings in London. It is unsurprising that the majority of her finances were held at Coutts or in bonds held by Cawdor -- keeping her economically tied to the larger family system. Her own personal property was somewhat limited; while the executor Adams reports throughout the year of locating small sums of money hidden in her lodgings (typically in £1-18 increments), the majority of her holdings existed in the form of domestic and personal items including jewelry, spectacles, silk dresses, china, framed art, and her library of "105 vols. & 19 of Music." Much of this was auctioned off to cover outstanding fees to domestic laborers and local tradespeople, her nurse, the apothecary, the expenses for the funeral, and any remaining taxes and rents; these can provide insight into how physical goods might be traded in-kind (as in the case of dresses supplementing the cash payout to her maid), the calibre of goods Henrietta purchased throughout her life, and the end-of-life expenses of nineteenth century upper classes. The details on her accounts also reveal the extent to which Henrietta's property -- and many noble women's property -- was not her own. Because while £48 was left to be divided among her sisters and chosen heirs (approximately £3500 today), the Baron of Cawdor retained the bulk of her final assets through the family entail approximating £1,280 (approximately £87,000). Ultimately, all assets were consolidated within the family given that the heirs were Henrietta's closest relatives; but Britain's continued system of primogeniture ensured that the most powerful man within the family retained that position and could pass it on to the son who would inherit from him.

Title: Alabado Sea el Santisimo Sacramento. Patente de la Confradia Santisimo Sacramento de la Santa Iglesia Catedral de Durango, Fundada con Autoridad Real, Pontificia y Ordinaria [caption title]
Author: [Mexico]: [Confraternities]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Description: [Durango]: Catedral de Durango, 1801. Broadside, approximately 16.5 x 12.25 inches. Old folds, light dust soiling and wear at edges. Completed in manuscript, with additional manuscript docketing on blank verso. Very good plus. A very rare broadside membership patent for the religious confraternity of the cathedral in Durango, Mexico, filled out for a female member, Toie Dionicio Garcia, on July 1, 1801. The text lists the responsibilities of the member, including assistance in the Mass and other services, and enumerates the indulgences that are obtainable, the chief of which is the forgiveness of all sins confessed on the day of entry into the confraternity. The final paragraph lists other posthumous benefits, including money towards a funeral and a mass said upon death of the member and on several following occasions. Manuscript docketing concerning the fulfillment of the confraternity's obligations and payment of funeral expenses in 1809 is inscribed on the blank verso. Interestingly printed, with a decorative border consisting of several types of rolls and tools and with three devotional woodcuts, and a good document of confraternal practices in the provincial cities of colonial Mexico. Not in OCLC, though we know of a copy at Princeton.
