NRS-17677 | Multi-Purpose Ledger

Full description

This series records (i) admissions to, and discharges from, the Hospital; (ii) daily totals of in-patients; (iii) the daily receipt of provisions by the Hospital; (iv) expenditures as they are incurred. The volumes are printed so that each contains four sections in the four appropriate formats.

The sections of each volume have, for the most part, been kept up independently. When a particular section in one volume is full, a new volume is started, but entries continue to be made in the other sections in the older volume, often for several months, before these sections are also commenced in the new volume. In some cases it appears that the later entries in the earlier volume are then transcribed into the new volume.

The information on admissions given in this series duplicates that contained in the corresponding portion of NRS 17683 – Admission Registers.

While these volumes are substantially intact, they display many signs of wear, are much rubbed and knocked, and suffer particularly from crumbling of the leather quarter-binding on their spines.
