Abstract: This volume concerns matters relating to the finances of the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman, including its budgets and its revenue. It is largely comprised of copies of various kinds of financial statements, produced by the Government of Muscat's Director of Revenues and forwarded to the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf by the Political Agent and Consul at Muscat. Statements include the following: budget estimates, quarterly statements of revenue and expenditure, statements of revenue by month as compared with previous years, and summary statements of the Sultanate's overall financial position. The volume also features a significant amount of related correspondence, mostly between the Political Agent and the Political Resident.The Arabic language material mainly consists of letters between the Political Agent and representatives of the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman, including the Sultan of Muscat and Oman [Sa‘īd bin Taymūr Āl Bū Sa‘īd]. English translations are also present. The date range of the entire volume is 1934-1940; however, most of the material dates from 1934 to 1938.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the inside front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 239; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
