Synopsis

A True Copy Of The Last Will And Testament Of Thomas Guy: Esq; Late Of Lombard-Street, Bookseller, by Thomas Guy, is a historic legal document recording the final testament and a comprehensive array of charitable bequests. The text outlines his debts and funeral charges, then details legacies to numerous relatives and associates, primarily to sustain family members, other kin, and dependents with lifetime annuities and shares in stock. It also dedicates the bulk of his estate to charitable purposes, establishing an almshouse and hospital in the locality of St. Thomas and Tamworth, with trustees and a future corporation to manage two new hospital squares and ongoing maintenance for dozens of poor or infirm beneficiaries. The will governs how rents, dividends, and profits are to be applied, how stock is to be allocated, and how the charity should be organized, funded, and governed by a specified committee and officers. Overall, it presents Thomas Guy as both a benefactor and careful procedural planner, shaping enduring charitable institutions.
