Rare.

Pre-bound paperbook. Many blanks, only about a third of the pages have been used.

Red morocco, rubbed, with gilt edging.

Front board detached, and first few leaves loose.

No, but some multi-page items have “continued” written at the bottom of the page.

Single; possibly two hands given variations in size, but given the strong sense of one guiding creator, likely just variations of the same hand.

Later corrections, annotations, explanatory headers. 

Pages 77–78 have been deliberately excised. 

Large, decorative script for titles.

In some sections, use of red ink for short, double rules between items and under titles, but also for emphasis.

There is an interval which records several important political events, then the volume returns to political satire.

Yes; there seems to be a lot of local poetry, and headers suggest the recording of his own writings.

Paginated (by the compiler; no unpaginated pages though many are blank). 

Pencilled lines to guide writing.

Yes: "Miscellaneous Articles, in Poetry and Prose."
