The Trumpet Major
The Trumpet-Major is a picturesque tale by Thomas Hardy. The protagonist, Ann Garland who likes men in uniform, is pursued by three suitors in the backdrop of Napoleonic Wars. Harper's New Monthly wrote that its scenes abound in the picturesque descriptions of scenery and still-life, and the subtle delineations of widely contrasted character and manner, that are the characteristic charms of his style and methods.

John Loveday Rent Book
The volume contains rent receipts from tenants on the property owned by John Loveday (1742-1809) in Oxfordshire, England (Atherton, Arlescote, Bourton, Cropredy, Lechlade, Slat Mill, Thorp Mandeville, Wardington, and Williamscot). Rents from 6 March 1786 to 3 February 1809 are in Loveday's hand; rents from 26 April 1810 to 27 May 1837 are in his son, John Loveday's (1785-1864) hand. The Lovedays recorded the name of the lessee, the amount paid, the location of the leased land and cottage with a breakdown for land taxes, repair bills, and cash. Laid in are an accounting of land tax payable from 25 March 1799 and five receipts for 1831.
