Feature | Note |
---|---|
Binding | Post-bound. Binding is tight. Calf. |
Hands | Single. Pencil notes on flyleaf appear to be in a different hand. |
Item formatting | Black ruled lines separating items and underneath titles. |
Ownership mark | Bookplate of Rev. William Long. |
Page layout | Paginated (but in segments that do not accord). |
Table of Contents | Yes. The original Table of Contents (up to p.3) is missing many items that have been added to the bottoms of the pages or inserted in gaps between original items; but the rest of p. 3 and its verso contains many or all of these added items, not in the page order, so they were presumably added to the Table of Contents as gaps in the book were filled in. |
