Part of Robert Clive Papers
A cellar book containing weekly accounts of the different types and amounts of wines and spirits consumed and remaining in stock between Nov. 1773 and May 1775. Although various rooms are mentioned the house itself is not identified but the volume probably relates to Clive's Berkeley Square residence, since it contains references to a Mrs. Ashley who was a member of staff there at the time. The book commences virtually a year before, and finishes almost six months after, Clive’s death.
