Author attributions | Occasional; often as part of the title. |
Binding | Bound in boards which have worn marbling on the outside and with a slightly damaged leather spine. |
Hands | Two hands; Adam Matthews database entry implies one main hand, whereas BCMSV database implies a mix of hands; to me the second hand (if it is a new hand), beginning f. 71 with the Carter poem, seems to match that of the signature on the first leaf of the book. The second hand is a somewhat variable hand. |
Indications of use | Possibly later use of the book by ambigraph copying of Gentleman’s Magazine items 1803-4. Otherwise not marked up. |
Item formatting | ff. 1-70 heavy bars separating titles/ headnotes from poems; freehand rising (oblique) line on the right-hand side of the page at the ends of poems. From ff 71f, no lines between titles and poems, just a generous space; the end of the first poem marked “Finis” (f. 82), but not a regular practice. |
Organization | Entries on rectos only, except "Mason’s epitaph for Abigal[sic] Drummond" on f. 86v inserted there to be opposite “On the death of Miss C. Drummond aged 11 Months ...” on 87r. In some cases, annotations are also provided on the verso page for the opposite poem. |
Ownership mark | Marriott bookplate pasted into inside front cover. “Eliza Marriott Darfield 1763” on opposite flyleaf. |
Page layout | Paginated (in folios). |
