Rare, if ever.

Pre-bound, blank paperbook. Uniform margins; writing never approaches the gutter.

Paper cover.

Regular.

Single, with the exception of the poem that precedes the title page and Table of Contents (seemingly a later addition in a different hand, but addressing the same time period).

As the title suggests, this is a collection of poems on a single topic from a short period of time, something of a literary-historical record.

Note the prominence of significant dates in titles such as May 29^th and June 10th.

Rare (minor) corrections.

Lines between items; occasional swirl at the end of an item in lieu of a line.

No lines under titles.

Frequent numbered stanzas.

“Elizabeth Susannah Hall. July 22th 1778" is written sideways on one of the front flyleaves.

Clear margin rules on every page.

Paginated by the compiler.

Yes, after the title page at the beginning of the book.

Decorative title page.
