Abstract
The Osbome Farm Ledger (1697-1745) is a primitive personal ledger in paragraph form, relating to the affairs of William Osborne senior (1648-1720) and his son William Osborne junior (1675-1745), successive owners of Burrows Hall Farm, Brailsford, Derbyshire. The principal objectives of the paper are to assess the usefulness of this type of agricultural accounting record to both the eighteenth-century farmer and the present-day accounting/business historian.
