The list "Boeken en Papieren" (Books and Papers) of the
Burgher Council, at the front of this volume, indicates that this is the second
bound cash book. Presumably before 1701 only loose pages were in use, such as
the cash account of 1695 in this volume. The aforementioned list of Books and
Papers indicates the first cash book was for the period January 1701 - December
1723 which is missing.
