�Introduction
On
15,
October
1770, Norborne
Berkeley,
Baron de Botetourt, "
his
Majesty' s Lieutenant, Governor- General, and Commander- in-Chief of the
Colony
and Dominion
of Virginia, and Vice- Admiral of the
same,"
died at
the Governor' s Palace in Williamsburg after a brief illness. The importance
of the man and his office prompted the General Court to meet immediately
and appoint, as executors
of his estate in Virginia, as prominent
and
influential a small body of men as could be assembled anywhere in the
colony, including William Nelson, president of his majesty' s Council and
acting governor, John Randolph, attorney- general, and Robert Carter
Nicholas, treasurer of the colony. Because Lord Botetourt' s principal heir
was in England, and a duke no less, the executors turned to their task with
unusual punctiliousness, "
weeks later, to compile "
ship' s Effects."
taking
pains,"
as Nelson
wrote
the
duke two
an exact and perfect inventory of all his Lord-
For this purpose they hired the late Governor' s secretary,
Peter Pelham; retained his faithful servant, William Marshman ( who had
served as his chief household officer and private secretary in Williamsburg)
for one year to assist; and delegated Nicholas to coordinate their efforts,
which he appears to have done with commendable
thoroughness.
The
diligence of these three men and their familiarity with the household is
evident in the document they put together, a formidable listing of sixty- one
rooms comprising formal and service areas, closets, storerooms, and outbuildings, all of which contained more than 16, 500 items of virtually every
conceivable
kind to do with eighteenth- century living—" in short," wrote
day Botetourt died," everything proper for
John Randolph to the duke the
the residence
of a Governor."
Formal furniture, intimate details of clothing and other personal adorn-
ments, goods ordered but not delivered, meticulous lists of books, or
garden
tools,
complicated
or
harness— no items
seem to have been too mundane
or
to escape notice. Because of the care the executors took with
their task, an extraordinarily
detailed record was compiled that throws
much light on the way the governor actually lived. Thus the inventory is a
kind of
encyclopedia—
cryptic
in tone, to be
sure,
but
ample
in content— of
the material culture of a particular personage at a certain time and place.
Supplementing it, furthermore, is a list of the " standing furniture" at the
Palace ( items owned by the colony rather than the governor himself)
indicative of the official nature of the building. This list has been printed at
the end of the inventory.
It is this inventory that provided the foundation for the refurnishing of
the Governor' s Palace in 1981. It is reproduced here for those with an
interest in material things, as well as for those who are curious to see how
3
�written words can be dramatically translated into three- dimensional ob-
jects. The " arms and colours" in the hall are a good example of the latter,
although it must be stated that much additional evidence for these items
was available to us. An analysis of the contents of individual rooms or
spaces can also provide definite( and sometimes unexpected) insights into
eighteenth- century usages; thus the dining room contained not only dining
accoutrements
but
also
business
equipment—
desk, library table, writing
table, and reading desk, complete with writing equipment and papers
public and private."
The inventory also documents architectural details
not otherwise known, such as the " bowfat" in the dining room.
Many of the entries in the inventory are self-explanatory, although it is
curatorial expertise that provides the bridge between terse descriptions
such as " mahogany chair" and the particular object placed in a particular
spot. Some of the entries are far from clear and continue to defy our most
determined efforts to solve them. For those with an interest in studying the
inventory further, the Oxford English Dictionary, giving many of the older
and subsidiary
meanings of words, is an indispensable
interpretive
tool.
It would be wrong to suggest that the inventory and list of " standing
furniture"
are all the curators had to go on for the refurnishing project.
Their complex and extensive research will appear in subsequent publications. But time and again, it was the inventory that, after much interpolation, cross- referencing, and re- reading, provided the clues, real meanings,
and necessary justifications for the curators to make concrete decisions in
the refurnishing of this historic building.
As an important cultural document of the American colonies on the eve
of the Revolution, the Botetourt inventory, we believe, deserves a wider
audience. We hope it serves to stimulate the publication of similar historic
documents.

�Introduction
SURVIVING
INVENTORIES
are the most immediate
and com-
prehensive tools we have to guide us in the task of refurnishing our
eighteenth- century houses in an appropriate manner. Ordered by law
upon the demise of a property owner as protection both for the estate and
for creditors, the inventory of a household could be taken with exactness,
giving details and the whereabouts of objects, or with oblique inefficiency,
according to the personality of the widow and the character of those com-
piling the lists. Fixtures and wives' personal property were excluded by
law from estate inventories, the latter category offering as much leeway as
any female might feel inclined to exert. To facilitate the compilation of
lists, it seems obvious that objects were sometimes moved from their logical locations.
Eighteenth- century terminology—
in its manifest varieties—
gives further pause. The four inventories reproduced here reveal a number
of such diversities. Each of them is of inordinate help to the curator, but
if they were more precise and informative how much easier his task
would be!
The existence and reprinting of these inventories should not lead the
visitor to conclude that the pertinent buildings are now furnished exactly
to correspond. It has not been possible to find certain objects listed. Other
items are described in such a way as to allow a colorful variety of interpreFor example, in the forty years that the Governor' s Palace has

Anthony Hay' s in-
ventory is long and detailed, although not, unfortunately, itemized by

good opportunity to examine the range of materials with which the curator
has to work.
Thus the present furnishings and their arrangements rest largely on
inventories and supporting corollary evidence. We take pride in this
accomplishment, while recognizing the continuing challenge to bring
object and document
ever closer together.

�Introduction
HEN
Robert
future
the brother-in-law of the
Mrs.
Skipwith,
Jefferson, asked the twenty-eight-yearold sage of Monticello for guidance in choosing books,
Jefferson obligingly promised to help him. On July 17,
1771,
Skipwith jogged his memory with a letter: " I would
have them suited," he wrote, " to the capacity of a common
reader who understands but little of the classicks and who
has not leisure for any intricate or tedious study. Let them
be improving and amusing."
In other words, Skipwith was
a forerunner of a familiar modern American, the busy man
of affairs whose activities leave him little time for reading.
He desired,
therefore,
to
absorb "
culture"
as painlessly
as
possible by reading the smallest number of well-selected
books.

titles comprising 379 volumes which he enclosed, is reprinted

Jefferson' s literary taste on the whole was excellent. In
compiling this list he not only included literary classics but
also some current literature and leading works of the day
on
science,
agriculture,
and government.

Yet
despite
the

In furnishing the Brush- Everard House to the period of
about 177o, Colonial Williamsburg was unable to discover
an inventory of the estate of Thomas Everard, and it is not
known
what books
he had in the house.
But since he was,
so far as we know, a typical Virginia gentlemen of his day,
Colonial Williamsburg has chosen to use Jefferson' s list of
5
�1771 as its guide in reassembling a gentleman' s library of
day. This decision was based on a suggestion by Dr.
the
Douglass Adair, Professor of History at the College of
William and Mary and editor of the William and Mary
Quarterly.

an

This
was
possible principally because the colonial leaders had read
widely and thought deeply about the principles of freedom
and government.
This was particularly true of Virginia, which with Massachusetts exerted the greatest influence of all the colonies in
colonial period.
Besides the military leadership of
George Washington, the Old Dominion contributed Patrick
the
Henry to be the firebrand of revolt, Richard Bland to
formulate a far- seeing theory of empire, Jefferson to pen
the Declaration of Independence, George Mason to enunciate the basic civil rights of the new commonwealth, and,
later James Madison to lay the foundation of political
science upon which the Federal Constitution was to rest.
It is interesting to note that, except in the political realm,
Virginia' s culture was largely absorptive rather than productive.
In this way it differed from the culture of New
England where Cotton Mather could publish no fewer than

17th July 1771.
Dear Sir
This I have left at the Forest to remind you of your
obliging promise and withal to guide you in your choice
of books for me, both as to the number and matter of them.
I would have them suited to the capacity of a common reader
who understands but little of the classicks and who has not

for any intricate

but can' t afford it unless Fingal or some of those new works
be bound up only after that manner; that one, Belisarius,
and some others of the kind I would have if bound in gold.
Let them amount to about five and twenty pounds sterling,
or, if you think proper, to thirty pounds.
With the list please to send me particular directions for
importing them, including the bookseller' s place of residence.
