Scope and content
'Long books' (Fellows' butler): monthly accounts for the sizings & other internal college expenses, of fellows, fellow commoners, graduates (M.A. and above) on the books of the college 1736-1929, (1739-44 lacking).
By an order of 1883 'commons' dinner in hall was henceforth charged directly to the college, not reckoned as a charge against the fellows' bills of fare. The earlier practice probably explains why commons and sizings are so confusingly similar in the accounts.
