Feature | Note |
---|---|
Author attributions | Yes, regular (all poems except those in the Miscellaneous section). The sections organised by author include the attribution as part of the section title and do not repeat the author next to the title of each individual poem. |
Binding | Post-Bound. Original vellum; simple lines tooled around outer edges of front and back. |
Hands | Single. |
Indications of use | Fair copy. Ref. to next vol on p. 230: “See Vol: iv.” Subheadings in the margin of longer poems (e.g., p. 172) for easy reference by subject. |
Item formatting | Titles framed by decorative lines. Items separated by lines. Occasional use of numbered stanzas. |
Organization | Apparently the third volume in the series based on the title (from the front flyleaf) and the note on the final page, “See Vol: iv.” Most of the collection is organised by author with section headings for each. |
Organization | Front flyleaf has inscription: 'Poetry Vol: iii'. Reference to next volume on page 230: 'See Vol: iv' |
Ownership mark | Potentially the word "Hasler" on the first flyleaf next to the title and date. |
Page layout | Pencil margins on the left-hand side. Comfortable use of space (no cramming). Paginated by the compiler. |
Table of Contents | Yes, on the front flyleaf, though it does not list the individual poems, but rather the sections of the manuscript (e.g., Extracts from Mr: West's Pindar, Poems by the Earl of Roscommon...) |
