Feature | Note |
---|---|
Author attributions | Frequent. Author attributions mostly written across from the title on the right side of the page, sometimes (increasingly towards the end of the manuscript) at the end of the item. |
Binding | Seemingly red cardboard, but in fact a worn, thin morocco; green spine with gilded tooling. |
Decorations - printed | Numerous newspaper clippings. |
Hands | Primarily single, though a few others at intervals. |
Indications of use | p. 40 annotation explaining literary reference. Sequence of (five) prose items p. 25, then pp. 28–33. p. 23 scribbled-out title, with the full item subsequently copied on p. 28, presumably because of concerns about space, or for the sake of including it in the prose sequence. |
Item formatting | Line between items. Uniform presentation of titles (not underlined). |
Original poetry | Yes, at least the poem on p. 14, first line "Says Grenville, 'to our Church at home'"... n.b. a later original prose sermon by Lord Grenville. |
Page layout | Liberal use of paper/ space eg. p. 36: where another stanza could easily fit at the bottom of the page, the compiler chose to continue the poem on the proceeding page instead. |
