This bound manuscript is a record of pew rents paid to Third Presbyterian from 1789 to 1796. The first several pages have been written on upside down, and read in reverse order chronologically. The next 44 pages consist of individual entries, right side up, of pew rent paid, recorded by date and name. Then entries start over at the back of the volume, written upside down, and thus proceeding backwards chronologically. These entries are listed by pew number and name, and span two pages across. Pages have been numbered accordingly. English Pew rent records, v. 5, 1789-1796 Third Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)
