Page 25 contains a summary of the years accounts, noting that 41 pictures were completed, 8 pictures were engraved and that a total sum of £2589.7 was paid to Richmond, the original figure for money received in 1857 has been written over to take account of the additional payments received. A note by Richmond made at an unknown date sees him reflect on his appointment as commissioner for determining the site for a new National Gallery and of his election as an associated of the Royal Academy. An unknown hand has added in pencil beneath these reflections "His eldest daughter Mary, married to F. Farrer, 18 June."
The c. 1860 dating for this year has been derived from the 1860 date at the front of the volume; it is assumed that Richmond retrospectively added account details for the years 1853-1859 when he started using the volume. The c. 1864 dating has been derived from the payment received from Lord Gosford, it is possible that the reflections were made at a later date but it is not possible to identify when exactly.
