Frequent; approximately 60/87 items. Names indicated by title and initials only.

Pre-bound paperbook. f. 180v numbered 181, then f. 181 numbered 182 ie. compiler was using the verso side in order to fit a final item into the book before the index. 

Bound in calf with gilt line around edge of front cover; in very fragile state, separated into pieces.

Single.

The section of poems beginning f. 81 and up to penultimate poem seems associated with the Yorke-Grey coterie, including poems by Charles Yorke, George Lyttelton, Hester Mulso (acquired through Thomas Birch – see correspondence in the British Library), Thomas Edwards, Margaret Yorke.

Verso side used to provide explanatory notes identifying people and places at some points.

Very regular presentation: titles underlined freehand, ends of items marked by freehand horizontal line across the page.

Many titles marked by an asterisk indicating a note on the opposite page following the formula "Wrote by..."

Pages filled on the recto side only, except for the final item, seemingly in order to fit the item into the book before the beginning of the index.

An upside-down triangle pattern of horizontal lines after the final poem, as if indicating the completion of the book.

A flourish at the end of the index. 

Likely; a number of poems "By a Lady" as well as the poems by Mr. Charles Yorke addressed to a lady could be original. 

Signed by "Mary Capell" on the first folio. 

Paginated (in folios by Capell). 

Yes, a six page index at the end of the volume which includes all items.
