| Feature | Note |
|---|---|
| Author attributions | Frequent. |
| Binding | Pre-bound paperbook. Includes some blank pages and different text orientations. Marbled endpapers. Full calf with gilt decoration. |
| Hands | Two, but one primary hand which copies all but two of the poems. |
| Indications of use | Fair copy (no corrections) but not decorative Primarily a collection of poems by Edward Venn and C.A. Venn, so potentially a family book. The second and third poems (the ones that are definitely in a different hand) might be copied by a child for practice. |
| Item formatting | No lines under titles or between items; new items are noticeable because of spacing around the title. Some blank pages between items. |
| Organization | The text on pp. 12–13, 21–28, 31–42, and 44–64 are written in a different page orientation. |
| Original poetry | Yes; about half of the poems are original to the collection: two light hearted poems by Edward Venn about women; at least five poems by C.A. Venn mostly on subjects such as storms, passions, solitude. |
| Page layout | Paginated. Fairly generous use of space including some blank pages between items. |
