Abraham Jarrett served as Register of Wills for Harford County, Maryland, from 1799 to 1813. Three ledgers containing wills are identified by his initials for the period 1774 to 1814. This publication covers wills for the period 1774 to 1800, which were recorded in two ledgers identified as "AJ-2" and "AJ-R." Both ledgers have wills grouped by the first letter of the last name. The AJ-2 ledger contains the first part of the alphabet (A-Q) and the AJ-R ledger covers the balance (R-Z), hence the "R" designation. The third ledger is not covered in this volume. These ledgers, covering the first twenty-five years of Harford County's history, include wills of many individuals who participated in the Revolutionary War as well as information on their descendants, real estate, slaves, and in a few instances, their ancestors. It gives names of all persons (executors, witnesses, slaves) and tracts mentioned. A complete index of persons and tracts, with special indices of slaves by first names and by associated surnames, adds to the value of this work.

Based on C.G. Jung's 1921 theory of psychological types, four personality styles are examined in an organizational context: Sensation Thinking (ST), Intuition Thinking (NT), Sensation Feeling (SF), and Intuition Feeling (NF). These four personality styles have vastly different preferences and approaches for defining and solving workplace problems. Kilmanns Personality Style Instrument is a self-report assessment that takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete and another five minutes to graph the results: Individuals and groups discover that they tend to approach problems in either (1) a specialized manner (favoring one style of managing problems while ignoring the other three styles) or (2) a generalist manner (giving due attention to how each of the four styles plays an important role in managing complex problems). In either case, individuals and groups learn why different styles are needed for sensing problems, defining problems, deriving solutions, implementing solutions, and then evaluating results.
